Default 2010 fender issue.

So yesterday I had just installed coils and was pretty low and rubbing against the mud guard. After raising the car a little today, the shop noticed that the fender area even if shaved it will still rub and it can not be cut or rolled due to how close that center bolt is to the wheel (the one that connects fender to bumper). He said on the 06-08 models it is much further back and does not have that issue. Any inputs?
