Actually it was the passenger side that had me worried...more than the driver side.
For some reason, the wheel/quarter camber angle is different driver vs passenger, so I think I should get an alignment and try to match them up...that way I know what I have to work on to get it right on both sides.
I parked it on L at work, and over time, the tire tucked itself into the quarter. I am sure some of it just was weight over time. It probably was slightly resting on the quarter, and then with time, the tire flexed a little and hid behind the quarter.
And it is pretty much straight up maybe 11-2 oclock that I am having the issues. The sides are fine and the ride height is higher so I don't rub, so I am good with everything except parking on L, which seems to be ok for the most part, just not exactly how I want it to sit.

Would you be able to find a picture of your rear quarter panel to show how much was shaved? That should give me the clearance needed if i can shave that little bit off

I shaved the rear all the way down to about 1/8in around the top 11-2:00 roughly...where it was rubbing.
I also had to slightly pull the quarters...didn't do much, maybe a mm or two of clearance since I didn't want to mess up the quarters. But the little I did made it work!
On to the pics :

The rear goes down a little farther with time...but I didn't feel like waiting to take pics LOL.
Thanks for everyone's help! If anyone has questions of what or how I did the work, PM me or post here and I will try to help!
