You don't want to take the plastic off the car unless you absolutely have to - there are components behind it that are better off not exposed to the harsh conditions when driving in dirty, dust, rain, etc...

you can remove it but just make sure you cover or relocate what needs to be e.g. wiring harness

Are the rims rubbing... or are the tires?

What size tires?
