Angry Stock wheel rubbing fender...can't figure why

When I had all stock suspension and stock wheels and tires the left front wheel would rub the inner fender lining. It would rub when I make a fast right turn with the weight shifting forward, and it would rub when I hit a divot driving on the highway. Now, there is a hole in the lining.

I've install bilstein shocks and tein springs; it helps a little because it lessen the body roll, but it would still rub. I though it would be the anti-sway bar or the mount, but I took apart and they looked fine(not bend, or cracked). The all suspension pieces of the right and left looked the same, but only the left side would rub.

I can't figure it out. I still have stock wheels and stock size tires.

Yeah I bought the like that... After I get the aligment done, it would go out in less than a month. Which bushings? The ones in the control arms looked fine, what other ones are there that would contribute to that. I am going try to park that one side on the curb, and see if I can find anything wrong that way.
