Sounds like those oversized wheels are rubbing. I know that they are the same height, but 20's are an inch wider than the 16's or 17's that it came stock with.

Edit your sig... it's too big.

That one is already resized for you. I cropped it so it shows your car off a little better.

Look in the wheel wells and see if it is scrubbing the plastic inserts.

Audtatious can edit anything he wishes to, since he is an administrator. I can edit anything you post in the forum, since I am a moderator.

I edit photos in photoshop. It is a really nifty program that lets me do just about anything you want to do with a photo. If you need something resized, just ask, and I'll be glad to help.

Your sig is small enough. If you right click a picture, and select properties, it will tell you the size of the pic, in pixles. That is what we measure the pics with. Maximum sig pic size is 600wide by 200 tall.

If you have any questions, you can always hit me up on AIM, my Aim name is nicobeancooker
