Got some OEM mud flaps on my '18 PR and now the tire rubs when backing up. I have a 22" wheels, could that be the problem? What do you suggest that I do? Thinking of trimming the flaps or should I get an aftermarket one? Appreciate any tips!

Trimming the OEM flaps is what most people do first.
Get a good utility knife or Dremel tool and just carefully cut away the part that's rubbing. Start small and test it, you can always take more off.
If you want a cleaner look or more flexibility, look into aftermarket mud flaps like those from WeatherTech or Rally Armor. they sometimes offer different profiles or more rigid mounting that helps with clearance
 
it's not like trimming them is the biggest sin in the world, but consider this, when you cut them they won't do the job they were initially intended for, so I'd vote for aftermarket ones.
