Default 20x8.5s up front 35mm offset 20x9.5s in the rear 40mm offset.. rubbing on LEFT front

hey guys, as you know i just put my milanos on the other day...i have basically no gap in the front or rear dropped on ltuned springs and shocks..its actually sitting a little lower in the back because of the damn sub box and stereo equip..anyway, no problems at all with rubbing in the back or the right front side even when turning the wheel all the way left or right.. BUT around turns and hitting bumps my drivers side front fender keeps scraping... can someone recommend the easiest and quickest methods of trimming or pushing the fender liner up, etc. to eliminate this problem...never done it before and cant really see exactly where its rubbing when it does..its not a BAD problem at all but i just dont want it to continue when i can probably fix it, or have it chewing up one of these brand new 555's considering they were loot... thanks in advance for any suggestions... just hoping theres a few common points you guys with 20s usually trim up or tap in/bend that i can try without messing with actually rolling fenders or anything

I removed the trim piece that goes around the wheel well.

you need to figure out where you are rubbing first. there are two tabs along the fender edge, check to see if those are rubbing? if so then you can just bend them up. if it's the trim, you can consider taking them off, though i rolled mine instead. just a bit and it helped a lot already
