Default Fender rolling...

Default You could get the fenders rolled in the front for less than $100
Just choose a reputable shop that won't crease the sheet metal or crack the paint. A little rolling does wonders.

Default Does it hit when your wheels are turned or straight?
Looking at your ride height from the pic, I don't see why you should rub unless your offset/backspacking is a little agressive. What brand/size tires up front?

I must 3rd on the fender rolling though. That's probably your best bet to keep what you have currently.
