They were barely rubbing on the struts, actually they were rubbing on the braket for the sway bar links. I took my grinder and shaved a lil bit off of that bracket and shimmed the wheels out 1/8" and no more rubbing. I am thinking about getting 5/16" thick shims for all 4 wheels, but when I do that I want to put longer wheel studs in so I have some extra threads for the lug nuts.
