We'd love to see you share photos of your car on AERO-7's, please do.

It also seems to only happen on the right side which could either be me hitting potholes only on the right or that my right side is a few millimeters different the the left in alignment. I will have the car re-aligned when I'm back at the dealer just in case

Anyhow, 30 seconds with a dremmel should take care of the problem in the short term.
Glad to hear that you were able to find out the underlying cause of the rubbing. Sumitomos shouldn't run wider than a PSS, but perhaps they changed their tire from what we have experienced.
