Rubbing issue

So ive had coilovers and my 18x8.5 gramlights on my car for awhile now with no rubbing issues at all. I got my tires rotated yesterday and now im rubbing on the front passenger fender. It only rubs when I drive over certain bumps and when I make u-turns. any ideas on why it would be rubbing now? i think I just might raise it up a little bit. The front right actually seems to be lower than the front left. I cant even stick my finger in the gap.

I just drove home from my GFs house and heard it rub a little again. I looked at my fenders when I got home and it doesnt look like its rubbing against the fender. I turned my wheel completely to the right and saw rub marks on the inside of fender lining. will raising my car up a little bit resolve this?

yes rasing up the car will resolve it but then you will most likly have to get a new alignment again.

i know, i hate how our cars need to have an alignment no matter how little or more you raise or lower our cars.
