Id go get an alignment. What size tires, offset, width. I'd stay away from spacers as they put more stress on the wheel studs. Mastro just got a brand new alignment machine come on in and we'll fix it up for you.

What's the tire size? I think I remember Jon saying 235/xx/xx. I'd like to say an alignment would fix it but I'm not sure. The tires may be to wide for the drop the S-Techs provide. Do they rub while turning or going over bumps?

I would agree on the alignment being off, they were fine on mine, only rubbed when I was turning all the way. the offset is 46 by the way.
