Get smaller rims...sorry, had to say it.

It looks lowered. Lowered by springs and springs alone?

Only thing I can think of are coilovers, that are typically adjustable. Expensive though.

Do you have air-suspension? If so, try the "height high" button.

What are your wheel and tire specs? Suspension mods?
We'll also need to know where the wheels are rubbing before we can offer solutions. Is it on the fender, inner liner, etc?

Usually if the wheels are a mild offset and the tires are not over sized, all you need is either to roll or shave the rear fenders and possibly modify the bolt that connects the rear bumper to the rear quarter panel.

Its sitting on stock suspension. I really dont want to put too much in coil overs.
Its only the the back. its the inner lining and its when someone is sitting in back seat or if im making a very sharp.

OP,
need wheel widths and offsets as well.

The rear wheels are probably too wide and have aggressive offsets.

Spacers or smaller rims should solve your problem. Beautiful LS.

Gotta go coil overs had the same issues, shave the rears first but if you go coil overs those characteristics you are experiencing will dissappear.

I'd say shave or roll your rear fenders.

Won't help his situation as he has stated it is rubbing on the inner liner of the wheel well.

Seems spacers would be the easiest solution for that.

Remove one rim from the rear , on the spokes or the barrel should be written the ET aka offset and the wheel dimensions , if you tell me those i will be able to tell you what needs to be done .

The wheels look to be vossen wheels and they are usually 22x10.5 + 38 for the LS460 rear fitment. OP, can you tell us if the rubbing is on the liner closer to the fender or the inside of the wheel well? Can you take a pic of the exact place that you are rubbing? Unless the wheels have a lower offset then usual, I would bet that the tires are too wide. Don't buy spacers until you we see pics of were the rubbing is to verify what needs to be done.
