Wheels rubbing?

[Limited14]

Hey guys, probably a stupid question but is it normal for tires to rub against the wheelwell I believe while turning? As my name states this is on my 2014 Limited. Thanks in advance.

No, do you have aftermarket wheels or different sized tires from stock?

 

[Limited14]

Stock rims and tires

Don't worry about it unless car was in accident and repaired.

if its rubbing and wasn't in an accident he should worry about it. that is not normal....

Okay then, worry away...

OP can you identify the spot it's rubbing and post a picture? I would make the assumption it's not a big deal until I found otherwise. Seems odd though. Is it possible the noise is from something else and just sounds like rubbing?

Ill take a look when I get off shift tomorrow but I'm pretty certain its coming from the wheel well. Ill snap some pictures.

Limited14, when I picked up my 2013 TE it had little chirp (rub) on front of inner fender liners with stock tires. I realized that it was not defect but just poor design on insignificant part and never worried about since instead I installed plus size tires (285/70/17) without a lift and called it a day. Does it rub now? You bet, but because it is on cheap plastic and so slightly and rarely that liner still looks like new (no it didn't destroy itself or tires in last 3 years). Like I said earlier if you don't suspect frame damage, alignment or camber issues- don't worry about it because Toyota engineers designed that fender liner on Payday Friday Afternoon . If it still bugs you, trimming the liner where it makes contact at full lock backing up will solve your non-issue. GL
