Default upgraded rims

i upgraded my rims to 17" motegi ff5's and my tires to hancook ventus II to my 3 and i have encountered a problem. everytime i go over a slight bump or anything in the road my wheels scratch against the inside wheel well fender or whatever. it digs little marks into my tires and bends out the fender . is there any way to fix this issue...please get back to me. the only thing i can think of to do so far is to bend the fender part back as far as possible so that the tire doesnt catch on it when i hit bumps...but if there is any other methods please let me know...thanks!!

you need to roll the fenders, check with local body shops and wheel shops, they can probably point you in the right direction, you can also do it yourself with the proper tool that can be rented at certain places...not exactly sure where, but once again, start by talking to local aftermarket auto places
