Grinding noise around corners
I took the car to the track yesterday. I noticed it was making a grinding (maybe a rubbing) noise around corners. The track I went to, had a lot more hard right turns then left, but I also heard some light grinding noise on left turns.
I haven’t heard it on on-off ramps, but then again you’re not pushing as hard or compressing the springs as much. Although when I was going home after the track I made a couple of lane changes and I could hear the grinding noise when I was turning right.
Some info about the car, it’s a stock, 2003 C5Z06 with 34,000km on the clock. I’ve got Nitto NT555R2 275-17 (front) and 305-18 (rear)
Do you guys think it’s rubbing because of the wider tires or is it a wheel bearing?!

Got the car back from the dealership and they didn't find anything. They couldn't duplicate the grinding and when I went there I couldn't duplicate it either.
One thing they did is add "shims" to the pads.
Maybe it's the fenders rubbing on the tire in hard turns.

So I just did my second track day in the Z06, and the grinding noise is back. The instructor in the car with me, mentioned it might be the half-shaft.
Problem is, I can't duplicate it on the street, only on the track. And the dealership didn't find anything wrong last time out.
