I just had the same issue with mine. Except mine was lying on my strut also. I got help on here and had to order 2.5 inch spacers for the front. No problems other then it rubs at full turn. Nothing bad.

Re: 2" spacer wheel rub

From all the research I did on here I was certain the 2" spacers would be enough for the 17x9.5 ZR1's (OE) wheels I bought. The driver side clears everything at both right and left full lock.

The passenger side however just barely touches the tie rod but only on full lock left. Full lock right it clears. Trying to figure out if something is just messed up on my front end or if the wheel just isn't center'd properly with the spacer etc.

I am going to remove the wheel and spacer and reattach them and see if that fixes it.

Drivers side
