strange noise with some pounds in the rear

when I have someone in the backseat on the passanger side and someone on the front of that side also when I take certain turns that puts presure on the rear section there is a wurring/rubbing noise.

I cant explain it very well.

this sucks.

would that be the tires rubbing on the wheel well - low ride from struts or springs?

i was in an svx that couldn't hold back seat passengers or a heavy front passenger..i think that was a strut or spring thing...or possibly oversized wheels/tires

I dont think it is rubbing, because it isnt constant i nthe turn, and I see no place where it had touched.

I have 18's on currently, but they have the correct size tire on it 40's.

Stupid Great car.

Installing Tranny cooler right now. THat is going to be so nice!!!

I guess it could be, but they are less then 6 months onld and probably no more then 10k on them.

Annoying!

What's the offset on those 18's your running? To little offset and they might rub the fender liner etc.
