Does anyone hear have a problem while turning their eclipses in driveways and having a scraping noise coming somewhere in the rear or bottom of the vehicle. I raised my car back to stock height so I don't think it's the bumper, side skirts or exhaust. The only things that aren't stock on my vehicle are my 18" wheels, sway bars, Tokico struts and my exhaust in the back. The noise appears to be scraping in the rear and only when I'm turning right to go into a parking lot, so it seems like the small bump has something to do with it. I can't figure it out. My friend thought that maybe I needed wheel spacers, but I asked a mechanic and he said that that I don't need wheel spacers. So I don't know, Someone on this forum had this problem, but never posted what caused it or if they got it fixed. If anyone knows what this might be, please light me know.

Yea, my girlfriend's maxima has that problem. There's a tiny dent, barely noticable, on the pass side fender over the wheel. It was just enough to push the inner liner in so that at the extreme it rubs on the wheel.
