Default Rubbing issues

I have vossens on my car 20x9 245/35/20 front.... 20x10.5 rear 275/30/20
Tanabe nf210 springs
I'm rubbing in the front real bad against the plastic fender well cover.... Do people normally remove this?

I'm rubbing in the rear also on dips... I had my back panel trimmed but still rubs


Any advice on these issues ????

The 245/35's in front are too big. You need to run a 245/30 up front. Trust me, I just went through this. The rear, without knowing offsets, is probably rubbing on the bumper tab towards the back of the fender. Did you have that trimmed as well?
