Default help, big problem!!

alright got my rims and tires put on, but now when i turn right it rubs! on the left front, i think its hitting this little hump in the wheel well, but im only lowered on tein s-techs and AGX's im not slammed so i cant figure out why im rubbing, and its only on that one side. i bought 3mm wheel spacers, does anyone think that will help??? oh and it like rubbed when i went over a dip goin like 45 not a big one but just one that ull encounter with daily driving.

How's your alignment? More specifically your camber.

I have a set of 16x7" wheels with a +37mm offset mated with 205/45/16 and not really lowered much (about a finger gap between the tire and the fender). I don't experience rubbing when the steering wheel is turned all the way on either side, but I experience rubbing while I'm driving and hit minor bumps/holes or if I'm going pretty fast on a turn.

Also, what kind of tires are you running? Sometimes tire manufacturers have different dimensions and some have bigger sidewalls than others.
