Take the wheels off and check to see where it's rubbing, if its on the shock tower/strut then the wheel offset is wrong, if its at the top, front or rear the tyre profile maybe too big or the car is too low, and if its on the outside of the tyre you need the guards rolling or again the offset is wrong.
Hope that helps

Yes your allowed to remove the inner guard, i removed mine cos the tyres were rubbing on the bolts that hold the inner guard on.
