So my g rubs on one side, i believe it has wheel spacers, im not sure if maybe one is too big by like a few inches, since when im facing the front of the car, i can tell that one tire sticks out much more than the other which is tucked under the fender, any recommendations? My tire size is 245 40 19
, Id appreciate the help!
Yep, that's a spacer. It appears you have the OEM Rays. I'm at stock height with the Rays, and have front 20mm and rear 25mm with no rubbing. [Cleric recommends 15mm for front.] If you are lowered, you'll either need to roll your fenders, get smaller spacers, or new wheels with different offsets.
Any chance u can link spacers from amazon of voth measurements please? And i dont have spacers in the rear, and i dont have stock rays, but i am on stock suspension height
The spacer sizes I quoted are what the community has confirmed work for the OEM 19" coupe Rays at stock height. You need to run the offset info on your ESR wheels through a calculator to figure out what size spacers will work without rubbing (or just take it off if you only have one, which is probably the better idea). If you don't know the offsets already, you'll have to pull a front and rear wheel and read what offset is stamped on it. Pay attention to tire size too.

So it's just one front wheel that's rubbing and looks like it sticks our further than the other? Are you sure you're not running a rear wheel up front (and a front in the back)? It's tough to tell from the pictures. As G2B35AGN stated, pull the wheels off and take note of the size+offset stampings on them.

Oh now there's a thought (but it still looks like a spacer). To do so, though, someone would have had to remove the "anti-switch" stud from hub that was designed to prevent that from happening....

Yes, but it appears both wheels have spacers. It would be really odd to have two different sized spacers on the front, and they don't -look- like they are, but yes it is possible. They also have aftermarket wheels which may not be affected by the pin/stud in the front, just in case it's still installed.
It looks like the passenger side fender is pushed in; are you sure it's not that?
I don't know what else you expect here. If you really think the wheel spacers are different sizes, measure the thickness. You probably don't even need to pop the wheels off to do that.. Beyond that make sure that if the wheels are indeed different sizes, that they're on the correct end of the car. The size and width should be stamped on the inside of the wheel somewhere.

How do i know if the wheel is for the front or the back?
Each wheel should have a stamp that shows something like "19 x 9" or similar. Typically the first number is the wheel diameter and the second the width. If all four have the same stamp then it doesn't matter where they are on the car (assuming tire sizes are also the same). It's the second number that is most likely different. From there you can deduce which wheel needs to be swapped to match the side of the car that looks right.
After seeing the second set of pics though I'm starting to lean towards an issue with your car. Clearly the fender is bent, the front end of the car could also be skewed due to an impact.
