ccw classic front rims hitting?

Self explanatory.. when I cut the wheel all the way to the left or right it rubs, if I go slow enough it will almost stop the car like turning in a truck with 4x4 on. Is this common with the 18x10 fronts? solutions?

Thanks,
Brett

Where do they rub? I've got them on my car and they really aren't even close to rubbing anything up front.

You know, I was looking at it. It looks like it rubs the front brake ducts. It doesn't appear to contact any other part of the body, so I'll investigate a little more after work. Any additional input would be awesome.

Thanks

I had a similar issue. My factory ordered CCW's rubbed when I got them. Long story short... The tires were hitting two bolts I used to install the HID ballasts onto the wheel wells.

Same size fronts and I think only a couple of times have I ever turned the wheel hard enough to hear something rub. It didn't bother me so I never checked it out.

What size tires are you running? Extra tire width can easily cause rubbing.

Your car lowered?

I run 18x12 CCW Classics with 18x305/30 up front. If I turn lock to lock the wheel rubs the brake duct.

Easy solution, DONT TURN LOCK TO LOCK and dont make those tight slow speed turns.

Wide tires up front will fell like a pig in the mud at slow speeds, YES but at high speeds on a road course it like its on rails.

Track tires left street tires right

Wheel rub on the Brake duct

I have 18" classics with 275mm tire, and it only hits on passenger side with a full-lock right-hand turns. I have no issue with the driver side or with with left-hand turns.
