Fender wells rubbing

On my 17ZL1 Last year had the rear tire rub a hole thru the fender well at Daytona. This week at NJMP the front tire is now rubbing the fender well. It puts a hole right thru the carpet fender well. Stock rims & tire size on the car. Notice when the tire gets above 38psi is when it happens. Running Goodyear Supercar 3. Anyone else had this issue or might now what is causing it/

Check the bushings in the front tension rods? GM calls them “ride links”. I think they are fluid filled bushings on the FE4 suspension. IIRC the FEA links are solid rubber and a bit stiffer.

38 psi is also a bit on the high side. I'd recommend bleeding more air off and targeting closer to 35 psi when hot.

I have seen this on my 2018 SS 1LE as well in the rear. I haven't worn all the way through yet, but I suspect it's happening at high load sections of the track, perhaps at the bottom of a dip. Sonoma end of turn 6 comes to mind. Also, maybe bits of Laguna like the bottom of the corkscrew although that seems more gradual.
