Stock Suspension Problems.

Hey all, recently installed some Alufelgen SF-71's/12mm spacers in the rear on stock sport suspension. I am having rubbing issues! I didnt think that 12mm would do it with the stock suspension and a 275 tire...

I have also noticed that the passenger side is lower than the drivers side in the rear only- I cant even fit a finger into the wheel well... is this normal???

Pictures would help out alot.
If you are rubbing then the first thing you would need to do is take out the spacers.
Give us the stats on these wheels (Size/Width/Offset)
What kind of tires are your running?

The SF-71 are ET35 on a 9.5". With a 12mm spacers it becomes an effective offset of 23mm which is not a conservative fitment with 275s tires. A fender roll should resolve the issue and will look very good
