Default new ZR1 wheels problem

hi i have a 99 ws6 and i just put on the ZR1 wheels. they are black with the crome lip. i have the staggered set up where the rears are 11" wide. i was told that they would fit with no problm, but they rubbed when i put them on. i bought some wheel spacers for now but i want to figure out the problem first. also i noticed that the left wheel sticks out about an inch further then the right wheel. i am not sure what that problem is, but i was thinking that maybe the rear is off center. is that possible. please help me out here, thanks alot.

is the side that is tucked in the side that is rubbing?
Sounds like your panhard is bent or you have a lowered vehicle. Get an adjustable panhard bar so that you can re-center the rear end.
You may also need to massage the inner fenderwell area with a large hammer to gain a little more clearance.

Adjust. PHB will recenter the rear and the BFH (big fr&!*# hammer) mod will give you the clearance on the inside. Might also need to roll the fender lip on the outside. Seems like its a little different on each car.
