You can even take the bottom screws off the shock absorbers in order to let them loose and check if the gap is still different.
Did you check the positioning of both springs on the rear suspension to evaluate if they're on their places ?
After all the hassle, i decided to swop back to 225/40 tyres and the rubbing problem is solved. With regards to the height difference issue, after running a suspension test, my local dealer told me its perfectly fine for 1 to be lower than the other, max tolerance of 10mm. Had no choice but just to take their words for it.

When i took out the 245/40 rubber for the swop, i bend over to have a look and indeed only the right side(lower side) rub. The fender has got evidenxe of rubbing but not for the left. Not planning to do anything abt it unless problem surface again.
