Keep the fat chicks out of the back seat and you should be fine


Provide the wheel size and offsets along with the brand and size of your tires. That might help us determine why its still rubbing.

Rolling won't get as much clearance.

You already started to shave, so just shave the lip ALL THE WAY OFF.

Here’s the view of the inner fender lip shaved completely off.




Followed by a coat of primer, then paint or undercoat to suit.




If you still rub then, pulling, adding camber or tire stretching are your other options.

word.... what chrispy said. If you shave all the way and the fender starts to split, you'll need to put some seam sealer in there so you don't rust out, a little primer, and undercoat
