thats weird. are you running a CA sidemount or SR one? either way it shouldn't rub. What wheels/tires are on the car?

haha yes, chris is right I did make ca18det.org. do you know the offset of your wheels by chance? thats more important than the tire size or wheel size for clearance issues I would think. maybe not though. oh well, I'll take a look if you're out there.

my tire rubs the inner gaurd at full turn, but not in the area where the sidemount is.
