Wheels rubbing after install of 15mm spacers
My current set-uip:
Suspension has not been altered; factory settings.
Wheels:
rear: 20 x 10 TSW Silverstone ET 20 tires: 285/30/20
front: 20 x 8.5 TSW Silverstone ET 40 tires: 255/35/20
I had the local Firestone install the 15mm spacers; gave the car the exact look I was looking for, but driving home hit a minor bump in the road and heard a very hard coming from the right rear. Got to my driveway and as I was driving up, the left rear was rubbing heavily.
Returned to Firestone where we looked at it, but could not find signs as to why it would rub.
Has anyone faced this? if so, what was the resolve? Sounds like I'm taking the spacers off, but I'd really like to keep them. And I was thinking of dropping the car, but now I have my doubts...but I know everyone else has been doing it with no issues.
Thanks.

Dropping the car could maybe solve his problem. The wheel and tire gets tucked in (cambers) everytime a car is lowered. Now it just depends on how low he wants to drop it. That could get rid of the rubbing issues, along with trimming the fender brackets.
285/30 is on the meaty side for a 10" wide wheel. You can try 275/30.
