You also have an agressive offset of 32mm on a 9.5" wheel. Brabus Monos have a 35mm on a 9.5" wheel and I hear that was agressive. So....I guess 35mm on a 9.5" without rolling the quarter panels is maximum?
I just jumped onto Harris's site and see that the new Carlsson 1/16 is even more agressive. 8.5" with a 28mm for the front and 10" with a 35mm for the rear. Those must rub???

I had the same problem...I bought Carolsson coilovers, fixed the height and bouncing problems...no rubbing at 9/10th's driving with 3 passengers, luggage, and full tank of gas. My rear tires are SP9000's and Nero Zero's up front.

I think your hitting the bumper or the side molding trim... if its making a mark on your tire then its not the carpet in the wheel well... Can you eye guage where it may be hitting when you drive? take a look and see if the bumper or side molding trim is sticking out close to your tires... thats what happend with my car in the rear and I had to have them shave that part...
