you should make more left turns, now that's the solution.

you can cut the splash shield, you might want to take it down first though and make sure there's nothing behind it that could be damaged or unmoveable (i.e. brackets for fenders etc) If the tire is hitting sheet metal though that's alot more of a problem that can't be solved by cutting. good luck.

Either you're using tires that are too big for your car, or your wheels have the wrong offset for your car. What kind of car do you have (year, model, version)? 205/45-16 is fine for Integras and '97-00 Civics. However, you need 205/40-16 for a del sol, CRX, or pre-'96 Civic.
