hey i have a set of 280 rims -10 offset...i had them in the front but when i would take a turn at a decent speed i would hear scraping...i noticed that they are very close to the caliper look like they are even touching...i was wondering if anyone else had this problem...and what u used to fix the problem i was just gonna get some wheel spacers...let me know...heres a pic of what the rims look like

if its scrapping off the caliper you should see scrape marks on the caliper and wheels.

Look in your fender wells for scuff marks. Or just turn the steering whell until you find where it rubs.
