Does this look right?

Recentley my rear suspension has been rubbing up against my wheel noticably. I've got ZERO clue what this. That thing has been like that for a few months though, but until recentley i haven't really noticed anything. It just doesn't look right to me IMO. Pics:









Last pic is inside the wheel wheel:



Thanks.

Gonna try to tuck 18 / 40 series, after I move the fawk out of this house, there's no way I can go that low again since they repaved my street

Thinkin about going airbags, that'd fix my problem real quick!

tucking 35's is absolute insanity. i cant even fathom it. the roads are so bad in new jersey that my car scrapes anything and everything and im on 50's with just a sportline/tokico drop.
