Default Fender Rubbing

I just bought an '01 Z06 last week that I believe has C6 Z06 Repro wheels on it, but they are shod with 245 and 275 tires for some reason. The right front fender lip toward the back is scuffed a little. Is this due to the tire rubbing the fender? The car is not lowered, and I know people lower them and run wider tires than this and don't have a problem so it seems a little odd.

Is it possible that these rims are not repros and are actual C6 wheels that have the wrong offset or something? They don't really stick out at all so it doesn't seem likely.

I don't see any sign of this damage on the other three fenders. Also, you have to get down on the ground and look inside to see this scuffing, it didn't damage the fender even all the way out to the edge. Maybe it got hit by some debris?
