Just install my new setup of wheel but ...

I buy a set of forgestar cf5v and a set of tire Bridgestone re11.
275-30-19 on the rear.

The thing is That my tire hitch inside of my wing. Did you know what should I do ????

First of all is this's normal ? I read a lot of people are already setup like that in the mbworld.

Is this a default from forgestar ? The offset are not mad properly ?

I eard about a way to open the wing a bit with specific tools. I'm afraid of this option.

Please help me with this

what's a wing? my tires are like that too you have to do a burnout and waste like 20% of your tread then it won't hit your fender/rear bumper

More info

We need more information before we can help you out. First of all, what's the size and offset of the forgestars? Are you on stock suspension?
Lastly, I think you meant fender, not wing.

Wikipedia - "In British English, the fender is called the wing (this usually only refers to the panels over the front wheel arches, in modern cars, since the rear 'fenders' are more an integral part of the car's body shape)"...

Need to know:
What are the offsets of the wheels?
Are you rubbing in the front or the back?
If front what are the tire sizes in the front?
If rear you may need to drop to a 265 instead if a 275.
If you are dead set on running a 275, then either burn some of the tread of the tire, roll the inner lip on the fenders, or run neg camber in your alignment. Those are your options.

My guess is the problem is with the tires, RE-11 are extremely square so likely the culprit... I'm running 275/30 on my Forgestar's but they are Michelin PSS so no issues with rubbing.
