Tire rubbing...

So I installed some 19 inch vff103s on my m4 comp pack and I'm running 265 35 19 in the front. When I turn the wheel all the way, the tire slightly rubs the wheel well. Will I be ok with this? Is it cool to just wait for the tires to wear down a bit? Or should I just bend in my wheel wells a bit with a heat gun? I'm about to cry because I spent 600 on my front super sports. Someone save me

Lowering and adjusting camber/caster will reduce rubbing. Easier way is take a heat gun and heat the area of the fender liner where the tire is rubbing, then push the fender liner in a bit. It won't hurt anything and no one will notice it. Many exotics do this with tight fitment.
