Brake cover rubbing

I have just replaced the rear springs on my E85 and at the same time I have added new spacers and wheels all around, going for a set of 108s from Mr Wilks. In the process of doing this I managed to bend the brake cover shield on the rear o/s. Despite having put in back in to shape, I am now getting a rubbing noise from the rear o/s wheel, which sounds like metal on metal and which I assume to be the shield catching on the brake disc. I have taken the wheel off and tried to adjust the shield and it all seems ok, but once I go out on to the road the noise starts again.

Any ideas or solutions greatly appreciated
 
How big are the spacers you've put on? Given that it's only rubbing when the suspension is compressed, is there any visual evidence of where the contact point might be? Is there any chance it could be rubbing elsewhere?
