What tyres are you runnin and how low is it?

with regards to the veering off to the left, I'd check your tyre pressures.

Also check the tyres are the same type/size on the same axle.

I.E. Both front tyres are Bridgestone potenza's

Also make sure they have the same wear.

The rubbing issue is a little more tricky. Any ideas what its rubbing on? the arch? the arch liner? If it's the arch, it'll need to be rolled, if its the arch liner, this can be removed. If however, it's rubbing on the suspension, you might get away with using spacers to bring the wheel out from the hub.

Hope i've helped,

Paul.
