it's because of the rim's backspacing. Go to a body shop and ask them how much it would be to roll ur fenders out 1/2"-1", because that would be the only way to stop it, unless u wanna buy some new rims.

Same thing happened to me. I had to get different sized rims with different backspacing. I still don't think they're completely right though cuz I couldn't fit 275 40's on the front without them rubbing when I turned.

Its definatetly backspacing. You need a wheel that holds the tires under the car a little more.
Try and send the wheels back for the correct ones if you can, Otherwise you'll be stuck with it.

Just take a wooden baseball bat... wedge it inbetween your fender and the tire then roll the car backwards slowly moving the basball bat between your tire and fender/quarterpanel... after it goes al the way through... you will have a mini, even flare...
I have the exact same prob. And its only the back right side that hits the fender when i go over dumps. I also want to lower my car but dont know if i should. Would stiffer shocks help?
