bigger wheels = noise while reversing?

after putting on the 20" wheels, whenever i am in reverse and turn the steering wheel, i hear a grinding noise from the front left. anyone else experience this? the funny thing is that i dont hear it while in drive and moving forward.

i checked the tire tread and i dont see any unordinary wear.

any input? TIA.

its probably the front wheel hitting the inside lip of the fender, i experience this too on hard reverse turns. see if u can have a friend watch your front fenders while u try it slowly...
