Front right wheel is rubbing

After installing the coilover the front right wheel is rubbing against something when I have the wheel fully turned to right when in the parking lot. I thought something was dropping out from my undertray. Then when I look closely this area in the pic was rubbing. But it doesn’t happen to the front left wheel when I fully turning the wheel to the left. Anyone has idea how to fix? Coilover has about 20mm drops and -2.5c camber.

3rd pic shows front left doesn’t rub at all.

Wheels specs? You may need the Verus steering rack limiters as a last resort.

It’s doesn’t happen on the other side, does the mean my alignment issue or coilover fitting issue?

If it rubs plastic I don't worry about it, if it rubs metal I bust out the BFH and clearance it.

Orbit direction of the Earth, Mercury is in retrograde, slight difference in camber, somebody keeps coincidentally jumping on the other side of the earth when you make a left turn..........

I’d have the alignment shop do it as changing camber will effect the toe.

Shouldn't be an issue as long as there is proper thread engagement and torquing procedures. I've had slip on spacers for like 40k Street miles and a few dozen autox events.
