LR tire rub
Good day everyone, now I have plenty if time on my hands, I may have an issue the the air shocks was hiding. Driver rear tire has a run “pic shows it”. Passenger side is good. I took all kinds of measurements, axle cradles have the same measures on both sides. I took a measurement from tire to outer fender on both sides and appears the rear is more to the drivers side by a 1/4”. I’ve had the car for about 2 yrs now, has new leaf springs, Caltrac traction bars, air shocks. When I installed regular shocks, the driver side hits over bumps just enough to chip at the tire. Checked back spacing on rims and show 5” for both sides. Tried to roll driver side fender wIt’s a fender roller but it will not roll. I thought of cutting slices along the inner lip and trying to roll the lip up, just never done that before. The car has all new metal, checked with magnet on that side as well. Car drives down road nice, would love to dump the air shocks for regular shocks.Any help would be great. Rim size is 15 x 6 and tire size is 235/70r/15 Thanks

You can either loosen all the rear axle hold downs and see if you can move the rear end over 1/8" to make the tire to quarter gap = on both sides...may not be enough and or cause tire cut on PS also
or take the car to a body shop to have them roll the offending quarter lip
