Rubbing Question

I changed from 215 45 17 to 225 45 17 and the rear right side rubs. I checked and don't see anything. Can someone please tell me or advise on what to do....Thanks

if it's rubbing on the inside of the fender, shave it/cut it /bend it

if it's rubbing against the strut, nothing you can do but go back to 215's

Check to make sure all your gromets are in one of them mite of came out and the plastic is rubbing. This could be the case since its only rubbing on one side.

its probly the upper control arm for the rear. it comes pretty close to the tire. maybee a fingers gap away. if that is what is rubbing then ull need to get narrower tires.
