So i just got my wheels put on the other day and after driving it for a while i noticed the rear tires rubbed on the fenders. But for some reason only the back right tire rubs. I've also noticed that the back right is lower compared to the back left. (I Have tein springs)(This is with no load in the trunk) I can fit one finger in between the tire and fender on the right side but about 2 fingers on the left side. Someone told me that springs need to settle. And in order to do this it takes about 1000 miles but ive had them for more than that by now. I've also been told it could be my alignment. I can't seem to figure out why one side is lower than the other. Any ideas?

One of the springs might be seated incorrectly. Did you install yourself or did a shop do it? I did it myself... didn't trust a shop. That way, I know I seated the springs right.

^He's right, check the springs and you might want to roll your rear fenders. I did and it worked but I still need to roll them a little more. Good luck!

I had a freind install them. But it seems like this problem started after i put the new wheels on.
