2] Does the car have a stock suspension?
3] Has the car been "lowered"?
4] Has the front of the car/front suspension ever been damaged?
5] What size are the tires?
6] What is the wheel offset?

Did the former owner have this problem?
Was this wheel/tire combo on the car at the time of the little fender bender? If so, did you have the problem before the incident?
The TireRack recommends a 225/40-19 size front tire on a 19 x 8.5 wheel and a 245/40-19 size rear tire on a 19 x 10 wheel.

The question is where do they rub and what is a possible solution. With time the tire should show a rub mark. Or you can paint the tires with white sportsmans paint. If the rub is on the inside of the tire, a simple 5mm spacer may be the solution. If the rub is on the outside of the tire, then it might be time for some different size tires.
If one tire rubs and the other is OK, them the solution becomes more complicated.
