Default Squeeaky power door closers

Alot of the times the door closers make squeaky noise like a chalk on a board. Is there any way to maybe lubricate them or do something to make a squeal go away.
Also what are the maximum thickness of spacers that can be put in FRONT with L-Tuned salinas 245/45R18. I already have 5mm spacers in front and they are sufficient to clear the calipers but my tire only rubs on the lower control arm when turned all the way and under load (like getting out of the driveway that's a little sloped).

If there is a way to quiet them, I'd love to hear it.

I know there is something can be done, a couple of years ago I had the dealer look at them while the car was in for a service. They were noisy, and one wouldn't close the door properly. When I picked up the car, they worked, and they were quiet.
