Default IS250 front Splashshields

I am a happy owner of a 07 IS250. In the past two months I've installed 20" inches are ALL 4 of them the same size (7.5). I choose to purchase Hankook 245-35-20 but noticed that my front splash shields are rubbing a bit (specially the driver side).

Am trying to understand HOW IS IT POSSIBLE for other IS250 owners to run 20", with their car much, much lowered than mines. As a matter of fact, I haven't NOT lowered my car and my splash shields rub with the front tires when I turn or when there is a dip on the road, my splash shields rub with my tires.

What would you recommend to avoid this to be happening in the front?

Any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks guys,
Monique

Every setup is different. Wheel offset, tire width/height, ride height, etc etc all factor into whether you end up rubbing or not. You're best bet is to grab a $10 heat gun from Harbor Freight and push the liner back in the areas that are rubbing.
