It’s clearly rubbing. You have a taller tire on a very high offset wheel, with a lot of camber a bit of a drop. One or more of those is going to have to give.

I wouldn't be so sure... my winter setup is 205/50/17 on stock wheels, lowered about 1.5" on KW V3's with -3.2* of camber up front and -2.5* in the rear. No rubbing anywhere. No spacers.



Now, all my camber is added at the knuckle, so the geometry is slightly different and my snows are 20mm narrower (probably more actually since performance tires run wider than the numbers suggest). Not sure if the OP is running camber plates or how they got to -3*.
