It would help to know what size tires you are running. They are likely too tall.

I had rubbing issues with my front tires. I have
a '72 GT hatchback w/ 15 x 3 1/2 Weld draglites. My
old tires were 145sr15's and they were fine but when
they had to be replaced I couldn't find any more that
size. So I bought some 165sr15's and they rubbed. I
ended up trimming some of the wheelwell opening just in
front of the tire. That lower corner is where my tires
hit. A little trim job took care of that. Hope this
helps!!

Joe

if you need 145/15 tires i have 4 new ones in the
garage. the 165's were to big for my car so when i found
145's i bought 6 in case any friends needed any. i
would sell them at cost if anyone wants a pair
