Rubbing under reasonable cornering

Lowered my car at the weekend, drives like a dream, harder ride, sticks to the road more and feels a lot more responsive, only problem is under heavy cornering I'm getting really bad rubbing and I'm not sure where.

I think it's rubbing on the top of the arch, so when the wheel's turned and it's under load, and it rubs on there.

The car is lowered on coilovers and i'm not sure if it's a case of some camber + rolled arches, as I've seen cars running a lot lower than mine without problems, or a case of getting some smaller wheels?

Car isn't even that low, so can't really understand it. Don't know the brand of the coilovers so will check when i get home.

also do you have stock shocks/struts?

I love the stance now, want a bit more offset on the rear [was thining some 5mm spacers] but at the front I daren't drive it round corners fast any more
