Default Lowered suspension rubbing, are the tires too big
I had 245 40 19 m35/m45 rims all the way around and then I got 225 in the front and it stopped rubbing. I lowered the front again and now the back left tire is rubbing, I just now raised the car an inch all the way around and it is still rubbing. I don't understand why it's barley rubbing now, I've had these wheels on for more than 2 months. Is the tire just too big?

you shouldn't be rubbing with a 50mm offset with the M45 wheels.. I would try a 35 series in the front.
