Caliper crutch cause of my forgestar wheel

I just set up my new cf5v forgestar and running it for a week... I just see that the front left wheel scratch my caliper... I'm so frustrated right now and I can't see how to fix it.

Also my seller tell me it was ok with the setup he propose to me.

Worst I've seen that my left rear tire scratch in my wing ... Dawn it

I have a set of 19x9 in front
And a setup of 19x10 rear

What should I do ?

I hesitated to run it in the track because of this

Tire are 275-30-19 rear
235-35-19 front.

You usually see 8.5x19 in the front with forgestar.
What offsets did you go for?
Did you buy the wheels from a sponsor here? I would suggest to contact your seller.

Show us pics of the damage on your caliper.
You ran the car for a week and haven't heard any noises?
