Winter wheels rubbing on front fender liners

[werman]

I purchased a set of used 18" wheels with 245/40/18 winter tires already installed for my 1M. The wheels are rubbing on the front fender liners.

Does anyone know if upgrading to the "new" fender liners with more clearance will solve the problem for this tire size, or will I need to purchase new winter tires for my wheels?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
