I rubbed on front until I bent front tab in. Just remove the screws sidemarker, pop put plastic thread plate then bend metal tab in. I pinched the fender liner w it to secure it

At +38, you’re on the edge, and it all depends on the tires. Some tires run wider than others even if theyre the same size. Bend the front tab and trim the top portion the plastic about 1-2mm will eliminate the rubbing.

The arrow is where it rubs because the plastic protrudes further into the wheels well. I remove that screw and remove the plastic bracket. It’s plastic so you can easily cut that bracket. Bend the tab inward then use a hair dryer to heat up the fender liner to soften it then tuck it behind the fender tab. Took me 15 minutes with me taking my sweet time.
