Default Installed DF210s and it's rub city on my '07 GS350

I installed some DF210s, new KYB shocks and new wheels/tires yesterday and it is rub city in the front. Fronts are 20x9 +35 with 245/35s, which I thought was a bit conservative but nope. As soon as I took it out to see how it rode it was scraping badly which is a little disappointing. I then pulled the metal lip trim that is held on by 5 screws and it still rubbed, I am thinking it is the fender liner in the front as I can see some clean spots there now. I guess when I get home tonight I'll pull the fronts and see what I can do to make some more room. My only worry now is that these haven't even settled yet so anything I trim and bend might still have an issue after they settle down. No issues with the rears yet but again these things haven't settled. WTF are you guys that run real aggressive doing with your inner fenders? Air doesn't count since you probably raise that up while driving, I am talking about static lows.

Let it rub til there's nothing left to rub :P

I was on 19s and most of my front fender liner had 3 giant holes and rubbed down a metal tab. I dropped to a 30 series tires and stretched them.

lol yeah I usually just let it rub when it's occasional. This was just non-stop constant as the car was moving from the moment I left the driveway until I turned around and parked it. All good though, I fixed it with some trimming of the fender liners and shaved the tabs at 10 and 2 on the fenders. I'll probably have to shave the rears after they settle since I'm already getting some occasional rubbing back there.

the things we do for that low life...
