Fender Liner Rubbing
I've just installed some 19's on my IS and now I'm getting little rubbing when I'm at full lock turning left and I go down an incline. I think its rubbing against my fender liner. I've read up on how to do the heat gun technique but I'm not really sure where to remold the liner. Is there a common place where the fender liner needs to be remolded to prevent rubbing?
In case it helps, I'm running 19x8.5 with a +38 offset and 235/35/19 tires in front. I'm lowered to about a 1 finger gap in front.
Thanks for your help!

take wheel off, look where your rubbing, youll be able to tell... then heat up fender liner with heat gun until super hot, push in with some thing(not your hand, even with gloves you will burn yourself) then when pushed in spray with ice cold water and itll harden. repeat in every are you rub.

I've tried looking at areas, but I think the rubbing is so infrequent that it's not leaving much of a mark, I was sort of hoping that there was a common area that rubs...
