title says it all, it's rubbing on the strut piece where the end of the spring rests, where it sticks out a little bit, doesn't rub on the other side as the bottom bits are in different places, seems too be normal. just knowing what i can do too fix this? tyres are 245/30/20.
fitted on my friends car fine and he has the same model, mines just lower, but i don't see what height has too do with this as it's the strut itself...
here is a comparison of both sides, you can clearly see the effected side.. (ignore the metal that's from a previous set of wheels)

Get a wheel alignment and make sure they adjust the camber as far as it'll go.
That should move the tyre away from the strut unless something is bent.

have checked your wheel bearings running big rims and tyres wears them out quicker

As JXFWSF mentioned a camber adjustment would probably solve the rubbing issue....Best to have about 1/4 degree negative camber, which will move the rim away from the strut, good for tyre life and still handle properly
