Rear Tyre Rubbing on Metal

[andyroo]

Hiya,

Done a search but couldn't find much. Recently been finding that on hard cornering to the right, the rear nearside tyre has been rubbing. Had a look, and on the inside shoulder of the tyre its gone all shiny, looks almost like it would if I had coloured it in with a pencil, and there are rub marks on the metal chassis at the 2 o'clock position on the wheel. I've only noticed this very recently, but the car has had an MOT since it happening and nothing was highlighted there.

Any ideas? The tyre does seem to sit very close to the chassis on the rear nearside, is that normal?

my clio did it when i put 17's on, could always get some small spacers?

Cheers for the idea Addz, but seeing as its OEM everything, I want to sort it out properly... so I've ground that bit of metal down a few mil which seems to have done the trick! I've blatantly jinxed it by posting this though

had this, rubbed paint off.

basically its the body roll of the car, and the tyre touching.

want to fix it, dont turn that hard that the tyres start to squeel..
