HELP! Cranking Sounds after Install

If it's happening mainly at the extremes (near full left or right), it's probably tire scrub.

Hopefully thats the problem! (Is that normal?)
Getting spacers installed soon, would that help it as well?

Yeah. Wide tires tend to do that, especially with a light car.

I don't know but will guess that it will make things worse. Try searching for "tire scrub" and/or "tire scrubbing".

Its when I fully turn the wheel to the left or right.
I turned the wheel once to reverse part and heard it for a split second, but not as bad as when its fully turned...Getting it looked at next week:/
