    Exclamation rubbing

    When I am alone and go over a small or medium bump on the road my car makes no sound at all. But when I have one or two people in the back my car makes like a grinding sound. People say that my car rubs on the tires when i go over a bump. What can i do. OH does the fact that I have 17's have to do with any of it? Or do I have to change my struts?

    What size are your tires? Most people don't have trouble with 17" wheels if the tires are and proper size and the offset on the wheels are 40 mm - 45 mm.
