Default Stock Rub?

Hey guys, I notice my new to me 01 Blazer ZR2 has some rubbing going on when at full steer. It has new P265/75R15s from the dealer on what look like the stock rims. Why would they be rubbing?

EDIT
Sorry, I got a little trigger happy, maybe I should have posted this in Tires and Wheels?

I would make sure that it is a real ZR2. If it is not, that would explain the rubbing for sure.

If it is a real ZR2, turn the tires to full lock and then get out and look to see where they are rubbing. Maybe something is loose?

The stock tires were 31x10.5LT15 tires. 265/75R15 is the metric equivalent. As such, this should not be a problem for a stock ZR2... As said, have a look at where it is rubbing and let us know (maybe snap some pictures and post them).

If you would like this thread in the Tires & Wheels section, just let us know.

for the life of me, I haven't been able to find out where the rubbing is coming from. It's almost like it only happens when it's moving. When I get out to check, I run my hand around the wheels and feel no obstruction. I'm going to get it in for an alignment this week and see if that fixes it.
