well, see if it's actually a problem first. i had that problem in the rear when i lowered my truck, so i bought different rims with a different offset. you need to see exactly what hits and modify it til it fits basically.

a few ways are /different offset rims, narrower tires, in nascar they take a baseball bat and just rotate the tire to pushout the fender for clearance(did that the first time in the 60's with a studeababaker lark) have your rear narrowed,trim fenderwells and lips for clearance, shave the tires// those are the ones that come to mind i'm sure theres other solutions too
