Another solution is to change back same size tyres.. I assume you changed to a bigger 205/45 - maybe from 195/55???

Like tat is cos maybe new brand tyre got bigger a bit n kena fender liao..
U can try 195/50 sized tyres .. maybe tis wont hit but ketuk fender first la.. its cheaper than changing tyres..

Its only a little.. different brands can differ a bit n then some got rim saver design is also a tad wider..
Problem is when you fitted new rims [probably wif a more outward offset] plus lowering causing this rubbing..
Try de 'ketuk' ting first.. if still got rubbing then tink smaller size liao.. BTW 195/50 is still decent - dont look like its much smaller than the 205/45.. l know , l am using tat size now from 205 45 also..
