Default My new CCWs are rubbing!!!

I just had narrow body fitted 18/19s on my z51 C6. The front right rubs the tie rod with full left. That is the only place. Is there something wrong with my car? Anyone else have this issue? Is there a different size I needed for my z51?

Do you have any wheel weights on the inside edge of that wheel?

I had the same issues with aftermarket wheels (18x10.5) until I pulled the balance weights on the inside edge and had it rebalanced using a different method with the weights placed more towards the center of the wheel.
