Just want to make sure it is a wheel issue, not an installation one.

I tried the rim that fit the passenger side on the drivers side and it cleared as it did on the passengers side. So both sides are installed correctly and it’s definitely a rim issue. One thing I did notice was there is a stick on balance weight attached to the inside of the rim. As I rotated the wheel, it lightly scraped on the caliper. The weight is 1/8” thick so there is really not much clearance between the rim and the caliper. I would need to move the weight to use the rim but now I question if 1/8” is really enough clearance. It’s looking more like 4 new rims may be the best option.
