06 SS/SC right front tire rubs

ok is this a normal thing for the 18's that come on a stock 06 SS/SC to rub when making any right turns? mine do it all the time and 1 thing it is embarrassing. other thing tires are not cheap lol. I looked under the right wheel well and see a body panel or seomthing righ smak in the middle of the well hainging lower then I'd like.

Canada Mine rubbed to

Right side ground effect moulding not at aright angle ,part problem needs to be replaced or refastened better.
You have to break pretty aggressive and steer hard right for it to happen.
Need to take mine in to but waiting for a few things to make it worth being with out it.

mine is now fixed via warranty, the right fender epoxy had let loose and the fender dropped a tad and this caused a "twist" in the ground effect and made it run under light braking and light right handed turns. the part of the fender that is closest to the windshield was SUPER loose and the other fender was nice and tight, all fixed now. really cool now not worrying about the rub.

Coblasts check the fender top, the edge closest to the windshield and see if your is loose as well

I had a similar issue, mine was the end cap on the side skirt, like in your picture where your white sitcker is in the DSF wheel, that cap, the end of it was sticking out, took it to the dealer and they popped another black screw into it and VOILA .. haha
