There is less rubbing now that I've gone to 7" wheels with 40mm offset, but it's still there. When using the stock wheels, there is absolutely no rub no matter what brand of tires I had.

Kouh,

My rims did the same thing, all I did was trimmed the lining where they rubbed and all is fine now.. I'll seal it up with insulating foam this spring, but it's been like this for almost a year now with not more rubbing..
