Anyone, my front passangers tire rubs on the back of the inner fender well. What causes this? is it just the bushings or could the subframe be damaged???? any help or tricks.

The subframe may just need to be lined back up. You would probably want to replace the bushings first.
The tolerances were rather large on the cars from the factory, so there was plenty of variance.

Our second gen does that too! :)
It's at full lock, the left side is very close, the right rubs just a bit.

Oh yeah, the more Castor you run or the lower the car is the more the wheel moves back in the opening. I wish that the tubular arm companies would move the Lower ball joint foward instead of the upper back. This is a major issue and why a 255 tire pushes the limit on a 2nd gen. My avitar is case in point, allbeit my car is quite low.

You know what, I am having the same problem. The passenger's side tire is closer to the back of the fenderwell near the bottom than the driver's side. Such phenomenon caused the tire to rub against the back of the fenderwell when the front of the car was sitting very high. I cut the front springs half a coil, and that stopped the rubbing. yet, still the passenger's side tire is closer to the back of the fenderwell than the driver's side. I have decided to live with it :dunno:
