Your wheels look a little wide for the wheel well. Possibly wrong offset and width.

I was going to say the same thing. Theres a lot of sun hitting the top of that tread.

Rolling or shaving the fenders might not work, but you should go to Exact and see exactly what they can do.

Sorry to hear about the problem. Hopefully you can sell the wheels. Other options are to run stretched tires and/or neg camber but without seeing the wheels, it is hard to say how far you have to go to get this extreme setup to work. Still doing this fitment is not for everyone. The easiest solution is to sell these and get a set that fits.

Ive heard of people doing it them selves with just a baseball bat. But if you would much rather have a shop do it for you I know this place in San Jose called Imports Cafe that can do it.
