Roll em and grind down and then bend the liner attachment. It's simple easy and should fix most of the problem.

I don't know what size rims/tires but 50 is awfully low unless you are running stock size tires.

Car looks sick brotha!
Is it rubbing from just the back or the front as well?

What tire sizes are you running?
What is the width on those wheels, in front +45 and rear +50?

What are your alignment specs?
With 255 +50 in the back, maybe you just need more negative camber?

Im having an interesting rubbing problem, to start off with, (a new one is on the way) but the driver side wheel well lining got ripped off by a tire a few months ago, and consequently, thats the only side that i hear rubbing from, back is fine, passenger side sounds fine, just that one side, so im thinking it has something to do with that lining coming off for some reason.

Wheel specs are 18x8.5 +45 in front and 18x9.5 +50 in the rear
tire sizes are 225/40/18 up front and 255/35/18 in the back

The negative camber is an idea, just not a fan of wearing out tires, however i am running a few degrees of negative in the rear
