Why not just trim the inside portion that you cant see? Should give you a bit more clearence on the inside of the fender so you dont run into this problem again.

not gonna happen...i'm actually contemplating going up to 235 in the front as I was getting understeer last time I ran at the track. I'll probably have to do as suggested up top and shave the fenders a bit.
