Default Rubbing on Front bumper.

Hey guys. Recently I put coilovers on my RS5. I put them on the lowest settings. (Just Tein Basis no ridiculous drop) and my tires are rubbing against a part of the front bumper. Right below where the fender and bumper meet. I have already bent the tab back and removed the bolt. I have eliminated that from what is rubbing. My wheels are currently +42 offset so I should be tucking like no other rather than rubbing on the front bumper. It is only one tire that is doing that. ( driver side).
More food for thought is that I got my car aligned and the guy told me that something must be bent because the tire is out that far as well as forward more than it should be. He said that he could do all that he could do and I am okay with that. I am just wondering how to fix the rubbing on the front bumper because it is slowly eating my tire. Thank you in advance!

I have similar problems with my 05 with that my driver side wheel sticks out further than my passenger side. All offsets are the same and whatnot I think some cars just have that. That or the subframe is misaligned but I really don't know.
My only guess is to raise your front end like 1/4" and see what happens considering you have already bent the tab back.
