Factory rims scraping caliper

i just drove back from goodyear and my driver side factory sh rim is now scraping the powdercoat off my caliper. wtf? passenger side doesnt do it and i called them and asked about my wheel spacers and they said the wheel spacers for my aftermarket rims wont work right with factory because of the offset. HELP! How do I fix this?

1. There is no way if you have a stock caliper and stock rims that the rim could be contacting your caliper.

2. Since you have aftermarket rims, did this happen before? That just means you bought the wrong type of rim or offset.

3. You fix it by buying the correct rims.

Since it's painted, you sure both are painted correctly and one isn't just flaking off because of poor job?
