Does the wheel lean inward?

What wheel size do you have? So the inside of the wheel rubs the strut? Or the wheel hits the fender?

What rims? Did you align the car? What were the measurements? How low did you lower it?

Im not so sure if he aligned it, it really matters.
The strut is in a fixed position when connected to the spindle.
Sounds like the wrong offset rims to me.
