Hmm. I *just* started seeing some interference issues with my right rear
wheel on my S6. Bilstein/Eibach suspension, 235/45 17" tires...occasional
rub on good dip at speed.

Suspension installed in the spring, wheels installed in September...

I don't *see* where the interference is...the tires certainly do fill the
wheelwells pretty well.

With a full load I hear rubbing more often...now with 2 people in the car I
hear a very occasional rubbing at speed.

Is this normal? What can I do about it? Will I cut through my tires?

I need to be able to drive this car loaded every so often....weird that it
didn't appear until now.

Thanks,

Lee
