Rubbing with Winter tires?

I just got my car lowered with the KW HAS kit and am running 15mm Front and 12mm Rear Future Classic spacers. The rear of the car has been rubbing a lot especially when hitting a bump or when accelerating hard. I suspect the Winter tires are too wide and are the culprit. Running 275/35ZR-20 in the front and 285/35R-20 in the rear. Going to get my summer tires back installed and will see if the rubbing goes away. Maybe next winter not run the spacers in the rear?

Are the wheels OEM or aftermarket? A 275/285 setup is not very aggressive and should really not be causing a whole lot of rubbing.

I'm in Miami so not familiar with winter tires and how these may be part of the problem.

If possible, please post some pictures so we can have a better look.

We don’t know how low the OP has dropped his car.

💯 .. that's why I asked for pics.

Curious as to what the issue could be here as I ran this very kit with a much more aggressive set-up (21x11 and 21 x 10) on 275/295 tires and zero rubbing with the rears very low.

May just need an alignment to dial in camber or maybe the wheels.

Need a little more info and pix.

I’m running 11.5” rear that is 15mm more aggressive than stock wheels with 295 tires on M550 with no rubbing.

Maybe the shop put the 15 mm spacers on the rear is my only thought?

Pics, no spacers, wheels would be nice.

If you have OE wheels with OE offsets, with winter tires don't run spacers. Terrible idea.
