When are you getting scraping?

when turning on lock? hitting bumps? bunch of people in the car? front? back?

other than on full lock its weird that you're getting rubbing with 7" minilites under flared guards.

Superbugs sometimes need the steering stoppers adjusted when wider wheels are fitted to stop rubbing on the inner guards at full lock.

rims are probably contacting the sheet metal splash shields for the disk brakes. easiest way out of this is to either trim the sheet metal splash shields, or take the splash shields of altogether. peopl have been doing this for years.
