HELP - Wide Rear tires rubbing brake lines.

Ok so I put 9.5 inch wide rims with 235 tires on the back. Everything fits ok, but I drove around the block and noticed that my brake cables were rubbbing. Anyone else have this and if so how did you fix it. I obviously plan on tying them back, but I was just looking to see if anyone else had some tips they could give me before I do this tomorrow.

thanks!


Here;s the line...


Here's the passenger side rear where it rubbed...


Here's the driver's side rear where it rubbed...

It's the wheel that rubbed on it. The lip on those stick out further than the tire! lol. Not too many people put 9.5" wide wheels on a Cobalt. I just installed 19"x8.5" wheels with 235/35/19's and I don't have any problems.
