Fitted my 19" Hartge alloys yesterday, drove to work today, heard rubbing coming from the right rear. Got home tonight and checked it out. The right rear of the car is sitting lower than the left - sufficient clearance on right hand side.
How do I resolve this ?
New springs
I've heard of bump stops....do they work.
The rears are fitted with 265/30/19 tyres.
Car is a 325ci 2003

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

^^^^ What he said is worth checking first,then if the rubbing isn't serious consider getting arches rolled.Dont forget that the o/s of the car sits lower when filled up with fuel as well.

Is the tread rubbing on the inner arch, or the outer arch rubbing on the sidewall?

It's rubbing on the outer arch of the sidewall.

You can't roll that, then. Had the same problem myself when I put EL tyres on (thicker sidewall) - only options really are to fit a 225 instead of a 235 if you can (unless you're running spacers in which case time to remove those ;)).
