What's the offset on the wheels? If you are rubbing you will probably have to do some fender work. Lots of people claim to be running wide wheels and low offsets without rubbing but I have found from personal experience, this is not always true. Sounds like you are also running a properly sized tire as well.
St.Louis eh? Im over in Louisville and I would be willing to roll your fenders for you if we can find some warmer weather! I have the proper tools, Eastwood fender roller/heat gun, and I've done a few so far.
Also can you see the "swipe" marks on the tires? Let me know if it's on the sidewalls of the tires, the top tread section, or the actual rim itself if it sticks out any from the tire. Look inside the tire well also and see where it's hitting. It is very possible that it is only rubbing in a couple spots where there are metal tabs that attach the fender liner to the metal fender. If it is only hitting in those areas sometimes you can just bend the tabs up out of the way very carefully and tuck the plastic liner behind them.
Take some pictures if you can, use a flashlight so we can see inside the well, and we can go from there. You might be able to just cheat it with a little bending depending on how bad it is. A slight amount of negative camber could also fix this. Again, depends on the details of the rubbing. Front camber bolts are around $30. Install isn't hard but you would need to get an alignment after.

Point the camera up from the ground and take a pic of the inside of the fender/wheel well and also get a closeup of the sidewall of the tire and see if there are rub marks there so you will know how far you need to roll. If it's just hitting the top of the tire there won't be any marks on the sidewall. Check to see where the rub marks are on the fender liner on the underside and see if you can get a pic of that.
