Right rear tire rub
My lowered on stock bolts C5 with 20" tires installed @ rear is rubbing on fender lip only on right side when I have a passenger . Was at Homestead H.O.D. On 7/6 with my driving coach ridding shotgun and had tire rub on right side only . Inspected rear suspension but did not find anything wrong . Could it be a worn shock?

Would have to be about out of fluid for that to happen. Shocks are there to keep the tire on the ground. Not hold the car up.
Raise the car back up slightly on that side. You can also have the alignment checked and have the camber more negative to lean the tire inward some more.

maybe an incorrect offset wheel or wrong size tire causing it to stick out too far?... or maybe it's just too low?
