get out the BFH and massage the inner wheel well where the tire is showing signs of rubbing.

Get a friend ( if one trusts you doing this sort of thing LOL ) and use a heavy hammer, at lest a 3 lb, and a 2x4, and use the 2x4 like an oversized nailset, preferrably one long enough so if you miss with the hammer, it won't hit the car. That's how my buddy did his, ( I was the lucky one holding the 2x4 ) and it came out good. None of the inner liner came off, we rounded the wood off some where it was contacting the car,might have helped some. He hasn't driven the car a ton after doing it because of other issues ( 10 bolt posi unit and 315's didn't get along too good ) but with the use he did give it, none came off.
