Should I shave my wheel well?

OK so I lowered my ride and now my tires rub. I am going to put some new wider tires on and I fear it will rub even more, I figure I need to shave my wheel wells but would like to know if this is not a good idea and if not what is the fix for this? The tires I am going to be running are 17X5, if anyone has a walk through it would be appreciated.

OK, that does look scary, my only concern would be with breaking my fender, has anyone done this on a 6th gen and had success?
