Default 245/35/20 Front Tires Rubbing

Rubbing in the front when I turn and hit dips even at slow speeds, do you think I should get 245/30/20 tires or trim back the fender liners? Or is there any other solution? I'm also lowered on Tein H-Techs. Thanks

I'm running 275/30/20 in the rear which is 82.50mm, would running a 245/30/20 73.50mm in the front look funky because the sidewalls are way off?

Its more than likely rubbing on the fender liner. Its a common problem on ISF when running 20's. Just get a heat gun and push the liner back

Ya I was thinking about doing that. Would there be any problems with removing the fender liners out? I know there's wiring harnesses and and stuff back there, would driving in the rain or dirt cause any damages to any of that?
