It's probably just the inner liner...soon enough you'll start to see where it's rubbing from the marks. Just cut out around that area.

yeh. 45's are just a tad too big. although when I ordered new tires from tire rack, Neal told me 205/40/17 were too small and didnt match stock. Which is true. they are a tad small. I also rub inside liner and fender with 205/40's dropped on coilovers. I just cut the liner outa the way and deal with the fender for now. lol

If you have plenty of room to the outside (fender side). You could get spacers to move the wheel out a bit so it wouldnt rub the inside. What size wheel and offset do you have?

Lol... Thats what I'm talkin about!

Hey man my lancer came with some 17x7.5 rims with 215/45R17 with a 40 offset and they didn't rub at all. of course I wasn't lowered either but... Discount Tires' website has a tire calculator that will tell you the size differences between the stock tires and your current size, if you wanted exact measurements!

Lets see some pics though!!!
