i had the Same problem on mine, when it was wieghted down,

there is a RUBBER beading that goes around the inner wheel arch.

i took mine off...

Doesnt rub any more,

Some people then get the arches rolled,

Mine rubbed when i changed my wheels so i changed my tyres to 205 40 17 and it sorted the problem out

Common Classic problem we also went down to 215 40 17s, and removed the spacers, it did stop them rubbing but had to put spacers back on when upgraded the brakes.
