Hey bro, give the experts your wheel and current tire specs. That will probably give them a better base to go off of. Also get some new shots taken close in an upward angle from where the rear quarter panel and bumper meet, by or under the chrome trim. Kind of similar to your first pic. And the same for your front end. The pro's probably won't need pic's but hey, your car is hella clean so why not show us some more! LOL!
By the way are you rubbing anywhere front or back? I am running 245/35/20 on a 9 +38 (99LS) and am rubbing slightly on freeway on ramps on the upper inner area. No rubbing out back with 275/30/20 on a 10.5 +45.
On the next set of tires I want to Run Hankook V12's and want to go with 285/30/20 rear but the bad news is I want to run 245/30/20 up front but they don't have that size, they have 245/35/20, 255/30/20 and 235/30/20. Will I rub more with the 255/30's due to width or am i currently just rubbing due to height and will be ok with 255's? I would rather not stretch it more with the 235/30's due to L.A. streets, but I may have to. I may also run some spacers since I have to get some body work done, what size should I run with the wider of the two setups?
Sorry for the thread jack V.I.P but since it is close to what you need and the pro's will be on here I didn't want to start a whole new thread if it could be mentioned here. Back on topic

245/35-20 on the front of the 2LS will rub on the liner during compression and at lock when parking.
try running 225/35-20, i run it on my 9j fronts with no rubbing on the liner at all, plus its relatively decent protection.
OP: give us wheel specs and tire sizes, as well as where you're rubbing right now.

Thanks P.D. I knew you would hit this thread up with the quickness! LOL! I may be lucky but I don't rub while parking. By the way I remember seeing your rear tires but do you have a nice pic of the front?

ill put up tire sizes a lil later i forgot the sizes
i only rub in the Front right know on a andle turn or say pulling out of somewhere, im going to get the rear rolled , i dont know where to get the front done i dont want to try it myself cause ill mess up the paint prlly . The rubbing in front occurs just on that lip on the fender its not really bad but it took off the paint on the inside

Dang, I just remembered that you recently got your ride painted too. That is the exact pic I was looking for. It looks like a 10 to 15mm spacer in the rear. You basically have a whole lip worth of real estate to work with. Also have you taken the little plastic trim off of the lips in front? My tires rubbed the lips up front ind rolled them nicely LOL! I was forced to take my trim off when the fender rolled since it bent, but no more rubbing there now. It's only two screws I think.

"o and to answer your other question i took off the trim on front and back it gave me a lil more clearance "
