It is real but will only happen after pretty long period, even for cheaper brands. Furthermore he said it happened after he changed tires of the same size. Spring sagging happens gradually, not immediately like that after changing tires, so that's why I said it's still far fetched/strange.

Well this link here suggests a ground clearance of 150mm (15 cm).
You can try to measure and see if the clearance is symmetrical.

If its not, then there is the possibility of sagging springs.

Also, perhaps you can provide the tyre brand. Though we all know it is 205/45 (sometimes could be 7j, or 7.5j width)

if your previous fitment is already tight, it's possible i think. different tyre have different design. like you see continental tyre sidewall looks fatter than say, re003 even same size although supposedly not by much la.

im driving saga flx 1.6 se with 16 inch rim and sports spring.

recently changed rear 2 tires.. after change tires, its lower than previous ( i mean the space between tire and fender ).. before this 2 fingers now 1 finger only.. and its hitting the fender when got 2 passengers and take bump..

last time no issue and i drive to jb with 3 plp behind and no fender hitting..

btw my tire size is 205/45 16.. pls help me to fix this issue..

Since your stock tyre size is 195/50R15, shouldn't you change to a 40 profile instead of a 45 profile tyre if you want to upsize to a R16 rim?

That could explain the rub fender issue.
