Default Tire fitment questions ISX50 on 18x8.5

Got a quick questions for those who know about fitment.

I'm currently lowered on Tein Comfort Sports running 18x8.5 +30 235/40/18's and everytime I hit any sort of dip, I'm rubbing pretty bad. I raised the car quite a bit and it looks like it's rubbing on the front fender tab only now. I searched and found a bumper tab relocation thread,.but I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

What I'm rubbing on seems to be the tab where the one of the bumper brackets attaches to.



Any ideas? When I was running 225/35/18's I didn't have this issue because with those tires, my wheels were much more sunken in.

You can cut or bend that metal piece that showing. Depending on how low your gonna go back to and the offset of your rims you might still need to relocate that bumper tab. If you do cut it make sure you round it off so it's not a sharp edge.
