i am also looking, what size tyres are you using? i had 255/35/19 but it was rubbing against the rear axle.

Sorry, due to the virus i missed your post,  if the vehicle has been lowered wheel offsets can be critical on Alphards....245/45/19 rears, ....235/45/19 fronts    (35) for me are too close to being in the skinny rim class=hard ride

you could also try quality wheel spacers

@ThuMentaliss, thanks I guess the offset of my wheels are wrong I am using 235/40/19 in the rear and 225/40/19 in front. Rear was still rubbing, using a 5mm spacer in the rear, works a treat.

My advice is to remove the wheel and look for where the wheel is making contact,  spacers can be helpful, but they can upset the geometry, you won't feel it when driving but could get abnormal tyre wear

Don't forget to tell your insurance company what modifications you have made !

May not be important in SA, but is in the UK.
