1970 tire rub help

[Dennis D.]

Put different rims/tires on my 70. Dispite the fact I need to space a little, I noticed a problem. The driver side tire turns stop to stop no problem. The passenger tire outboard edge rubs the lower rear of the body wheel well at the flare when I turn right. It may also rub slightly at the right front lower well when I turn left.Could this be a suspension issue? Or a body issue? How do I check for either?
Putting the stock set back till I figure it out.

Dennis Weak front springs can be the problem. The most common thing I think is the shape of tires today as compared to the originals. The tread width if it is wider on the same diameter as original can cause rubbing on turns. Their was not much extra room in the wheel area on sharks and rubbing tires is a common problem. Lyle
