Rubbing???

My tire seems to rub on the drivers left when making slow right turns (like turning out of the driveway). The car is stock except for the MS CAI. It was making the sound prior to the CAI install. Does anyone else have this problem or any suggestions? Thanks!

where is it rubbing ??? who installed the cai ?
 
It is the CAI. Checked it again with the wheel turned and it is rubbing the plastic venting area between the CAI and the wheel well. The dealer installed it last week while replacing the recall bolt. The CAI shrouding seems to be pushing against the wheel well plastic just enough to bulge out a little too much. It only happens when the wheel is turned to the extreem.....but I guess I'm going back to the dealer.

Yo shouldnt have to. If you check out the design you can loosen any of the clamps in the upper area and muscle a turn in the down pipe i had to do it as well had some rubbing issue's with the hood. check it out
