Rubbing!!!

Finally got my 19's on and lowered the car with the H&R coilovers... the wheels tuck under the wheel well nicely, running 19x8.5's with a 34mm offset in the front... the installer that lowered my car put in 10mm spacers for the wheels to clear the coilovers...

but now I have a problem with rubbing in the front when I turn up going up driveways, barely any clearance at all... getting the front fenders rolled this weekend but I was wondering if maybe I can go with a 5mm spacer instead of the 10? maybe that'll give me somemore clearance room... anyone know? probably need to raise the car a lil too...

can you post pictures of where it's rubbing? Fender Lip? Wheel well liner? Spring?

I dont have a digicam so I can't post a pic... but its rubbing on the fender lip only when I turn the wheel going up a driveway...

so I have to go up driveways with the wheel straightened out so it won't rub... they had to add a spacer cuz the wheel was hitting the spring, I believe its a 10mm spacer...
