what wheels are on the car and what offset are they? If you don't know the offset, just list wheel make, we'll be able to figure it out.

what brand and make of tire? (not all 225s are equal in section width or tread width)

You say "when I turn" does this mean you hear sound from the front or back of the car?

 

225's will most likely rub unless you have a higher offset wheel. If you don't want to change tires or wheels, you'll need to roll the fender lip.

 

Sounds like it could be a combination of the lowering, offset, and the Azenis (they're known to be wider than most of equal size) I couldn't find the offset for that particular wheel.

If it rubs only when you really get on it, makes me think that it's rubbing on the inner fender and not the strut. Have you taken off a front wheel to confirm this? Unfortunately you might need to go with say a 215 tire. But, it's cheaper than new wheels, and tires wear anyway.

The Azenis sports are pretty popular on the track, you might want to offer them up for sale here in hope that somebody would want them for race day.

Good luck.

 

You'll need to find the offset of the wheels and where it's rubbing. I'm guessing it's a high offset because it would rub in the rear first with low offset on the wagon. It may also be a bad camber adjustment. If you're uncomfortable jacking up the car and removing wheels, you should go to any local alignment shop and they should be able to fix you up.

 

subiedon has 225/45/17's on his 04 wagon and he has no problems with rubbing.
have you lowered your car?

 

You should see excess wear on the inside or outside of the tire if it is really rubbing. Just crank your wheels all the way out and do a visual check. The edge would look a bit chamfered.

The offset on the se7en looks like it might be too low (+42), but Dexter would know best.
