make sure you shave the edges of the front fenders since there rubing on it. my tire got cought on fender and pulled/bent my fender edge. i was fine riding low the whole time. it seems like you have to just "catch" it perfectly on a driveway going up, at just the right angle. it can happen so just be aware

you can widen your fenders. or you can get smaller front tires or you can just live with it. going low has a price and in my other car i pay the price. when i enter my driveway i scrape fraim everytime. and when i lay out the car it sits on my front fenders.

My car scrape everywhere I go and it dont bother me.. ONce I raise up my car on the mechanical lift and look underneat.. EVerything look fine except the car shell show tons of scrape everywhere.. That is not an option for made me worry... The engine and transmission is number one issue to me because the car need them to run.. When I see the speed bump or overramp, I made a turn not going straight. Also the front fender meet the bumper, I made a little custom my own and it work perfectly fine. I also cut the fender liner in half.. I finally found the answer myself for what cause the car made rub.. Wrong size tire, and the offset is not correct.. Once I had low offset as Rezax and the Borphes on coilover, it rub really crazy. But I put 215 series tires on both rims and it dont help because the offset is not correct.. So the last rims I have Weds Kranze, they are 42 et all around plus 5mm spacers equal to 37 et.. I was surprise they dont rub when I lower more.. PRetty impressive

Mdgrwl, you wont have a bigger gap by rolling your fenders. It's only when you flare them outwards where you'll see a TINY bit of space but not much to notice. Either way, even if you flare them you wont tell the difference you'll increase the wheelgap by like 1mm at most.
How did get rid of your wheel touching the fender lining/bumper bolt? That + the fender liner is where I rub going straight. Going up/down inclines I rub everything.

areukhmr and i shaved the tab quite a bit to help prevent it from rubbing much on his new setup. the only option you have now since your tab is broken is fabricate your own tab and angle it up so it doesnt rub against it. if you can get pictures of what your fender looks like now i'll figure out a way where we can tap a new tab for you to hold your bumper to your fender
