rubbing, help!!

I have 2004 ford f150 fx4 with a 2.5" leveling kit, I had 305-50-20 (32") on 20" diamo wheels and i just had 305-55-20 (33.2") put on and now i have really bad rubbing at half turn and full turn on the lower outside part of the fender well where the grey plasting fender comes down. It didnt used to do it before, so what do i need to do to fix it, how can i trim the plastic without it looking bad?? Also does anyone have any pics of how they did it and what it looks like?? Help
thanks guys

Doesn't sound like you need much, just get under there and start trimming it away. There is lots of room under that plastic crap hangin down. That would be your best bet, just get under it, figure what ya want cut. and do it. Might want test to see where exactly its hitting at, that should give you an idea of how much to trim off.

i agree, from 32's to 33's cant have changed much so it prolly wont take much trimming at all to get them to clear.

I agree. Just see where it's rubbing and trim a little at a time. If you want to take a sharpie and draw a line to cut on, that may help. Just use a sharp knife, box cutter, utility knife, etc.

Thanks guys i think i pretty much got the rubbing to go away. Believe it or not that 1.2" does make a big difference. the 32's looked really small compared to these 33.2's.
