This may be a dumb question, but I'm trying to figure out what real rubbing sounds like. Is it a squeak or a thhhhuk?
I get little squeaks on small bumps (maybe just the suspension?) and only get the big thhhuk on tight turns or huge bumps. Trying to figure out if I need to roll my fenders/mod the fender liners. Obviously no expert here

Mine (the one time I rubbed, lol) sounded like a plastic vrippppp noise. Almost like a plastic across concrete dragging type noise. Like if youve ever heard someone scrape their bumper on a concrete barrier. Like that but faster and a little lighter.

Yeah, I only get that when I'm doing crazy stuff. I usually drive like a grandma. So you think no rolling/liner modification needed?
They do poke a few mm outside of the fender (+40 offset):

I get the big scrape up front on really hard turns and I know that's the +40. I'm trying to figure out if the slight squeaking which seems to come from front and back is rubbing or the suspension...that is much more common.

I knew I would rub w/ Swifts and this setup I just planned to roll the fenders and be done w/ it. However, the performance shop I use said I probably wouldn't need to unless it bothered me or started to eat up my tire on those rare occasions.
I sure would like to figure out what that squeaking noise is though...maybe w/ stiffer tires I get more stress on the springs?
