i've had this issue for awhile and finally i've just nhad enough of it. i changed my stock GLE rims for a set of rims off an 04 350z. i got the car in 07 and months after getting it found out it had been in a car accident (dont know but this may be relevant to my issue) i always noticed that the rear passenger side wheel stuck out a little more than the rear driver side but never had an issue until i changed to the z rims. i guess the offset on these rims is a little more than the stock and the REAR PASSENGER side sometimes RUBS/HITS the fender when i take speedbumps on parking lots, etc..im wondering that the issue could be. i did the rear brakes last year and didnt see spacers on the hubs so i doubt thatd be why one side is out more than the other. im posting links to images so you guys can see what i mean.

This is a common issue for lowered Maximas due to the solid rear 'axle' (beam) and Scott-Russell linkage. Although I cannot recall off the top of my head the direction the rear beam biases towards when lowered.

There is a procedure in the FSM to 'recenter' the beam, which may help.

I have a feeling that stock ride or not, the driver side "tuck" is standard.

Recentering the beam does not eliminate the disproportionate offset. My driver side has noticeably more tuck than the passenger side regardless of rims and even after recentering the beam, twice, and changing the ride height multiple times.

As someone posted, you can eliminate some of the rubbing by rolling the fender, or even just shaving down the tab that is inside the fender well. However, if you're at stock height, that shouldn't be a problem, so the question is are you using larger than the stock equivalent tires on the rear? If so, that might be part of the cause. Even with a less than one finger drop in the rear, I had no rubbing with 235/40/18 tires on a rim that was 18x8.5 +33 offset, but my 245/40/18s rub all day, even with the car raised significantly.
