Tire rubbing

I have a bit of an issue. I put 225/45/r18 tires on my 05 ss/sc and my right rear wheel is rubbing the fender when i hit a bump, but the left one never toutches. They both have the same gap between the wheel and the fender, i just dont see why its happening. My car is lowered, but never had problems before with the same size tires. It seems the tire is hitting on the outter edge of the fender lip, i can see rubber on there. Any thoughts?

Mine is the same way. My right rear tire rubs the fender when I hit a dip in the road. Had 235s but it wore through so I got 225s still the same how can I fix this problem b/c the left side is fine never rubs but the right looks like it may stick out a little more. I have CM lower springs and rims are enkei EV 5. Please help. Thanks.
