Aggmeister201we have noticed after lowering a Model S, the rubbing may go away as the we've noticed the rubbing is only on the front surface (closest to the front bumper) of the front inner fender liner (and only rubs at certain angles). Offset, wheel width and tire size/brand also plays factors in the rubbing.
We identified rubbing using a 21x9.0+30 on a factory Michelin 245/35-21. When we backed the offset down to a +35, and lowered an S on the same tire, we noticed no rubbing. Keep in mind not tires of the same size are equal in dimension (some are rounder and some are square on the edges).
Yep, that sounds right. Factory 21" Turbine offset is +40, right? I had 20mm spacers on mine to make them more flush with the fenders, and that caused rub in the front. I let out some pressure in the tires and that helped a bit. I'm sure once the tread wears off a bit, that'll help more. But as a more permanent fix, I plan to have the caster adjusted slightly to give me more space in the front. I know this will make the right a little 'softer,' but I'm not carving corners in my car so that doesn't really matter to me.
