Thumbs up ROLLED FENDERS, STILL RUB! HELP!

Hey guys, my car is lowered with Neuspring Sport springs and I just put in some ASA Ar1 rims (gorgeous I must admit!!! Wouldnt pay any more for any other wheel!!!)

Anyway, I rolled the fenders in today, and also took the plastic trim on the front fenders, BUT I STILL RUB!

The rubbing occurs with the bolt/tab that holds the rear bumper to the quarter panel; I was thinking of simply bending that in??

What can i do?!?!?!

Thanks!


AHHH SO DESPERATE I DONT WANT MY NEW TIRES TO GO TO SHREADS....

what size are you running.

I have a 9 with a 45 offset in the rear with a 245 and it hardly rubs on big big dips on the freeway !

you have to relocate the bolt an inch or two back from its location and cut that area where the bolt originally was at. a dremel would work well.. i just ran more camber in the rear and i don't rub anymore..

how much camber are you running?

This is true. I was barely rubbing on this, and I moved the screw back a few inches and cut out the old tab and everything is fine now. I haven't rubbed I am running a 265-35-18 on a 9.5 inch wheel with +55.
