    Unhappy Front tires rub. What did I do wrong?

    Where did I go wrong?
    Both front tires rub on the frame but I think I followed the recommended wheel & tire sizes.
    FFR Manual, page 472: front optimum tire size: 215/45/17

    Here's what I have:
    2006 WRX sedan aluminum lower control arms
    FFR upper control arms - driver side cut per manual revision
    eyeball alignment - not exact yet, but close
    17 x 8 Enkei Racing RPF1 wheels
    215/45ZR-17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport XL tires (20 psi), overall diameter 24.7"
    Ride height: 4.5"

    Both sides rub on the frame behind the wheel well at less than full turn.
