tires rubbing

I was in Vegas this weekend and had my two cousins in the back of my Max crusing the Vegas strip. On certain dips in the road, the right rear tire (not both) would rub. I checked the tire this morning and noticed the "scratch" in the tire (I'll take pics tomorrow). The left rear tire is not rubbing at all. Anybody know why just the right rear is rubbing?

Specs:
18x8 Anteras
35mm offset
245/40/18 Nitto NT555's
Tokico Illuminas/Tein S-Tech springs (3f/3r)

sorry i have no idea what the answer is but i think a couple of people are having the same problem with only the right tire. so...maybe the fender inside is lower due to some parts??

I have had that SAME problem. I found out that its the peice where the bumper and the rear fender meet. If you look at it, its kind of sticking out alot. What people have told me to do is to trim that area or bend it upwards. i had that problem and i thought it was rubbing off my fenders, but after a while, i realized it was that little flange peice where the rear bumper and fender meet. it shaved a little away at my tire too! that was what my problem was, hope that helps!
