Well, I don't think it is too much to ask, especially since it is rule number 1 for this site; here it is if you haven't seen it:

1. I will keep my posts relevant and helpful.

I give a damn because I am tired of wading through a bunch of garbage because people want to raise their participation level; I am not the only one on here that feels this way:

I can understand why many of the respectable and informative posters have left this site.

Not sure the offset of your rims, but have you considered putting 5mm spacers in? That might solve your rubbing problem if it's on the inside.

we don't know his offset and that doesn't matter now, he already has the tires. so lets fix it.
Exactly !! i didnt know there was a wrong and a right size to use. bro have you tried removing the piece of plastic that is getting caught up in the fender well. only remove until you have to. i dont recomend removing the whole thing , its gonna get really messy in there . what are the guys with the Air bags doing for this problem ?

Has anybody considered having the inner wheel wheel massaged by a body shop and then spraying a bedliner, like Rhino Liner or LineX, in there? I've not looked into my wheel wells, so don't know how practical this is, but it's a thought... It's been done on pickups and other cars for years.

Yeah, anyone with airbags has experienced what I'm talking about. What have you guys done with the inner wheel wells (the plastic parts)?

Just about everyone with bags has completely removed the inner liner , most of them just custom made a small piece to sheild the intake. Bashing in the liner may be hard since it probably wont continue to hold the shape becuase it is all thin plastic.
