It's probably the Blue Arrows that are causing the problem.

Try to get different brand of tires that have rounded wall, not boxy like UHPs, FALKEN maybe?! I have UHPs too and rub in the rears OR raise your fronts! From the first pic, it looks like your fronts are lower than than your rears. I thought it would look better if the fronts actually a little higher than the rears .

when i first read this thread- i was thinking it.....and i scrolled down a little more and noticed someone else was on the same page as i was.

so how did you do it- i am guessing you did it w/o the correct tool. please tell me there was a hammer involved- that would make my day.

close but i just use some round smooth wooden durable stick, (baskball bat etc)

and then just kinda push your fender lip a bit so it won't do any scratch or dent, since is inside it won't matter if your fender looks ugly. well at least it turn out real smooth now and no more shaving

btw what does blue arrow mean?
i use blue becaue they can be seen more
