Anybody had a problem w/ 17" Kumho's rubbing ?
It's weird - on the passenger side , in a left hand turn, the tire will rub the fender.
It hits both the inner liner, and the lower edge of the fender itself.
No problem on the driver's side, but it is close !
Are Kumhos larger than Goodyears , even though it is marked as the same 24540ZR17 ?
(Or, whatever the stcok SS/WS6 size is .
)
I did a search, and the only suggestionw as about a broken shock - I do not believe that is the case.
Thanks !

What wheels are you running? That will affect whether they rub more than the tire size.
Are you sure you have a "24540ZR17"? That would be a fairly narrow tire compared to the stock WS6/SS 275/40-17 tires. Would also be 1" smaller in diameter than stock, rdeucing the chances of it hitting anything. ?????
