Your alignment is now off because you're lowered. I highly recommend getting an alignment. Are you looking into a security system or a kill switch?

having a smaller tire doesnt mean you'll be stretching. get either a narrower tire or shorter sidewall to get rid of that tire bulge

I just remembered!!

I highly advise you to raise the car up a tad (to no wheel gap) till you get new wheels!!

My friend, a looonng time ago, slammed his DC when he saw mine and he had rubbing issues on his steelies. We looked under the wheel wells up front and theres this metal lip that goes along the whole middle of the wheel well. It was actually cutting the tire down the middle. I told him to raise it but he was confident that it was fine.

After a while, he hit up the touge down here, one of the wheels up front popped, slid off into a relatively deep ditch and flipped his ride. On an inspection, we came to the conclusion that the cutting of the tires is what caused the tire to fail. The tire popped in the middle of the tread.

I'm not sure if you touge or not but if you take on/off freeway ramps, theres a high possibility it'll cut up the tires.

Check under the wheel wells to make sure its not doing this.

Take a wheel off, and see where it is rubbing. There is no one answer to fix all. You actually have to look. Youre probably rubbing on the edge of the fender, and the metal seam at the top of the wheel well. Hammer the seam over. You may need to beat on the wheel well to give yourself a little more clearance.
