Once I verified that not metal was rubbing, or causing paint damage was occurring, just a cheap push clip and a tiny bit of the plastic liner, full send lol. I can't forsee any long term issues popping up from it at all.

I’m still rubbing. The push clip is completely gone now I ended up taking it out since it was shaved gone. Still rub on the Metal fender. I even added steeda strut spacers it didn’t end up helping with the Metal fender rubbing. Camber is in enough. next tire size down is to small and stretch’s on the 10 inch wheel

I follow you on tik tok so I've seen what your doing.
I'm wondering I'd you need to go to a different tire brand. I know you said you run 275s, but maybe the brand really is bigger than other brands? Really odd you've done all you've done and still have a rub.

I appreciate the support! But yea that’s what I was thinking. We’ll see I may post the tires up for sale see what happens I don’t really want to be stuck with 2 sets of tires. What brand are you running? I know that the ones I have now Michelin pilot sport all season the 275/35/20 is 27.8 inches and other tires brands on that size is 27.6 inches. I know it may not seem like alot but that could be it

I know on my wife’s Tesla when I went to 255s instead of the standard 235s I had to make sure they are summer and not all seasons, all seasons would have rubbed. (Continentals)
I’m at 1.8 camber on both sides and don’t hit metal with 275 Nittos

I'm running nitto nt555 g2s. I have steeda lowering springs, 20" velgen vf10s, 275/35r20 F, and my camber is -1.9 Drivers side, -1.5 passenger side. No rubbing anywhere besides the plastic clip and its nearly gone.

I purchased them but didn't need them to get the camber adjustments to where they are at. I still have them just in case I ran into issues after the alignment, but no issues so idk if I will ever use them.

Interesting I have the camber bolts in now idk what it’s at I set them at max I think. Not sure how much the steeda camber bolts max out at. I’m still driving around with tape to double check. I think it only runs on big dips if the wheel is turned now. I think I’m okay. Doesn’t rub on the fender liner anymore since it rubbed so much before lol.

Fingers crossed lol
I'd still consider going to nittos if you have the finances to do so, just speaking from experience, no issues.

Almost there man, luckily all week is 70s here.

When was your car made?
I had a metallic ish buzz on both sides, passenger side was louder, they said they found 5 loose screws in the dash just not sure where in the dash. 2 loose screws in each door, the metallic ish one on the passenger side is gone but drivers side remains.
I don't have a wireless charger so no help there.
