Usually the problem will run itself away. Or you can roll your fenders.

I roled teh back and thats all good but the front scrapes teh actual wheel well, not the weather guard...should i get skinnier tires, i have 215's 17/40 , if i got 195's would it solve the solution?

Will that make that much of a difference? I have the same exact problem. 17" x 7.5" rim 40mm offset with the 215's. And it rubs in the exact same spots. For some reason it just doesn't seem like the difference between the 205 and the 215 will make that much of a change... But I am just guessing.
