Wheel rubbing on trim, but only in reverse?

Maybe someone can help me understand why there is rubbing from larger wheels (or maybe spidertrax spacers) but only when turning and going in reverse?

I only see the dirt being rubbed off on the front trim panel in the wheel well, and can hear it also -- but only when backing up.

get out of the car and check your clearances on both sides with Full Left and Full Right. You should be able to visually confirm where is rubs. When you go backwars, the tire is trying to pick the panel out and rub against it, so it makes more noise than say it would going forward. (If that made any sense). Adjust/Move/Shave the Rubbing Area accordingly.
