The posts you've seen have mentioned that guides have said the delivery window feature will be coming soon, it's NOT currently available. We still only have the Nov/Dec '21 emails for reservations prior to that date. Anyone who reserved after has nothing specific to-date regarding their...
It's also very possible that the alignment is also off a bit with regards to the front camber settings. If it doesn't have enough negative camber at the lowest setting, then I could see how that would allow some rubbing like this. It could honestly still be "within spec" but even half a degree...
