Rubbing when accelerating

Whenever I accelerate and take a turn at the same time I get a horrible rub (sound and feel). It doesn't rub when I accelerate straight or when I make a turn with no gas, only turn and gas combined. Any ideas what this could be?

Is your car lowered? If so your tire could be hitting your fender.

+1 Look under the car to see where the noise is coming from.Pay close attention to the fender wells.

Doesn't look lowered at all. Stock tire size. Why would it only do it on acceleration though?

well if it's coming from the back... then it's the tire on the outside of the corner... if it's comingfrom the front, it's prolly the tire on the inside of the corner... check and see if everything is fastened....

Check steering components and such or just see if the wheels are torqued?
