just take a box cutter, or your favorite knife and cut the plastic above the wheel wherever it is rubbing. Or just let it go.

Yeah. Cut it.

But you should not be rubbing at all. What size tires are you running

are the tires new? because they will have a pretty strong smell when you first get them and drive on them. You really shouldn't be rubbing on h techs unless you have a low offset and wide tires.

burning plastic smells different than burning rubber...check the liners for rub marks, before you go war on them.
