you need to shave the wheel well to give more clearance. is it the back ones fo rthe fronts. if its the back then shave the top area of the inner wheel well.

Or, depending on your offset and all that good stuff you may be able to correct it with some spacers.

oh i had the same problem, after my suspension settled.. its coming from the passenger side rear wheel right?.... well u have to put a spacer on that wheel... its the suspension geometry that makes that bar.. sorry dont know the name move towards the rim when the suspension oscilates, escpecially when people are in the back.. i first used some cheap spacer from pep boys, then when i took it for some brake work this local tire place put some longer studs in there for me for like $30, so i had more than enough stud to hold on to when puttin on the lugs...

You rims must be more than 7" wide. Look into things a little more before u buy rims.

BTW what are the metal bars that run along the inside in the rear where the wheels are?? Just curious...
