rubbing :(

i just got stock 6 spoke RS wheels on my L. i have Falken GRB FK-451 (225/50/16). and they rub. i put some chalk down to see where its rubbing. it seems to be rubbing on the spring/strut base. what to do?

that tire size sounds kinda big. ive got 17x 7s on my L wagon with toyo t1-s 215/45/17. they dont rub at all. so my best suggestion would b just get smaller tires. good luck

i was going to get spacers. but then i looked and i couldnt fit lugnuts over the studs with spacers. so i decided i didnt care if they rub. btw samoht 215/40 is a tiny tire
