He does state in the first post that tire rotation has been tried.

OP, edit one of your photos to draw a circle around the exact spot where contact is being made between caliper and rim.

Turns out it was a badly bent rim causing the trouble. It got rotated to the rear for now. That being said, is a replacement steelie worth it or should I just go on and get new wheels? If so, what would be a safe dimension to move up to for a slightly larger wheel size?
