It could be hitting your struts, mine rubs there too, i thought it was hitting my fender, but it was actually rubbing against the strut if you turn it really tight.

Just a fyi only drivers side rubs..the right side has 3/4 to 1 inch clearance which you can see in the video.

I have the same size wheels and tires, and mine rub too. Mine rub on the frame rails if I cut it to hard.
