Ace, I had the same problems with my Maya wheels, but found out it was the length of the wheel bolts!

The inner front part of the bumper you can't fix. Will not help if you put spacers either. I ran into the same problems when I had my coilovers and I had a 12mm spacer in the front and it still rubbed in that area. Darwin said that just some of the cars when lowered will rub that front area and there really is nothing you can do about it, except maybe use a different tire brand. Since I changed back to sport springs and KONI adjustables all my problems have been solved. Is it really that much rub that it bothers you? I know it rubbed when I turned to the left or was backing up and I turned the wheel to that side too. Good luck man.

I have a noise also at the rear brakes, but I have 17'' C7 stock wheels, and I only ear it when I reverse and brake for stopping and then when I stop breaking for start moving foward it "clink", it also happens in inclinatined roads, when stopping and sarting to move!!!

Maybe the brake pads???
