2016 mustang GT non-PP
purchased some cheap rep wheels from American Muscle to use as winter beaters, link here.
Rep winter wheels, 19x8.5 30mm offset.
I had the black accent package wheels, 19x8.5 42mm offset, on the car prior.
I swapped to my winters and when I put them on and checked there is clearance (almost a full inch of clearance from strut to rim lip).
Fast forward 4k miles, I did my oil change and while the car was up I noticed the drivers side front rim lip is scuffed, and my struts paint is rubbed down in that spot. There is still an 1" of clearance.
How am I hitting my strut? is something broken? These rep wheels should have given me 12mm extra clearance to my strut compared to my stock. My OE wheels never hit it, so I am lost as to how this is hitting it.
Any ideas?
