Hey guys, as soon as i fix one problem i get another

Changed my wheels the other day from 195/45/15 to a different set which are 195/50/15 and im now hearing scraping sounds on the drivers side wheel. Both of the front wheels have spacers on them though as the previous wheels were slightly wider than the ones i have put on now, i wonder if that could be why? if i removed the spacers my wheels should be a bit further away from the wheel arch? could this be it or am i looking at new tyres if i want to keep the wheels i have just put on? the car is lowered also but im not sure how much, it doesnt look as bad as some ive seen so i cantt see why it scrapes! i will attach a picture, thanks

Anyone?

195/50 can rub if using spacers. If you are quite low it'll definitely rub

Went to my local scrapyard today to get some bolts the right size, got rid of the spacers and it doesnt scrape anymore! was just to close to the wheel arch in the end though it didnt look it.
