Someone help, new user, wheels rubbing!
 
I recently bought a brz with 18 inch enkei rs05rr fitted with 235/40/18 tyres. But I find that when I'm going down hills and turning my front wheels rub somewhere in the fender. I think its behind the wheel itself but i'm not sure. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what can I do to fix it?

Edit: I do not know the offset of the rims, but it wouldn't be that negative. Also im fairly sure its the tyre rubbing not the rim.
 Edit: The car is also on a stock suspension and is not lowered.

Thanks

Without knowing the the wheel width and offset no one can really help much. Most likely its probably rubbing on the spring perches...

Even some pics will help.

Take a wheel off and look on the inside face. Offset is stamped on most wheels.

while you take off the wheel. mark the areas with blue tape where you suspect it is rubbing on the fender/strut or wheel well.

Take her out for a spin and listen for any rubbing and then check the blue tape areas
