Rubbing Wheel Well. Help?

I got some 20's mounted a few weeks ago and just got around to getting the EZ Street coil overs installed a few days ago. I'm loving the ride, but whenever I hit a small dip or anything that makes the car bounce a bit, my front driver side wheel rubs against the wheel well. It's getting to the point where it's eating away the wheel well and there's a pretty good sized whole in it. Ive gone back already once to re adjust the height on the front to make it a little bit higher; it stopped rubbing for a few hours and started once again. My front wheels are 20x9.5 with 235/30/20. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're rubbing on the inside fender liner, that's a common problem and most of us just let it rub through. There's no problem with letting it do that. When rubbing on the bumper tab connection, that's a more serious problem. I'm slammed on 20's it's possible to be low.

It doesn't rub towards the front of the fender liner. Mostly up top and on the inside towards the motor. It'll be fine...trust me
