Jack up the car, take off the tire and see if it is scraping anywhere. Should be pretty noticable. Proboly gonna have to use the BFH .

It is the rubber bumper that is in the middle of the wheel well. Depending on the offset of the wheel, your gonna have to do the BFH mod. Have you jacked up and taken the wheel off to look inside the wheelhouse to see if it is rubbing in there?
