Hello guys,
I am running 20x11 ET24 front wheels with 305/30/20 GT500/FP-spec PS4S tires on my new 2020 350R. I noticed that I was getting some rub on the inner fender liners when turning the steering wheel to near full lock. This morning I removed the wheels, pulled the liner push pins out (one had already popped out from the pressure of the tire on the plastic I guess), pulled the liner away and saw a small metal tab where the upper push pin gets located. I used a rubber mallet to gently tap it back a few mm then put the liner back down (FYI do not reinstall the push pins yet at this step!), got my heat gun out and very carefully slowly heated up the plastic where it had been rubbing and then pushed the plastic in a few mm with a flat block and let it cool while maintaining gentle pressure on the plastic. Reinstalled the push pins and wheels and checked for clearance - seems to have a lot more room. The picture with the orange trim removal tool shows how much clearance it has now.
Anyway, I had heard other people complain of the same rub with this size front tire but hadn't seen any solutions. I hope this helps!
