Default Dropped 20'' on f-sports scrapping HELPPPPP

So i dropped my car on F-sports and everything was fine till the springs settled in and i hear scrapping noises. i looked under and the piece that holds the bumper to the car is hitting the tire, the nut is also, is there a way to stop this??? my tires being shredded when i go over bumps, plseee tell what you guys with 20'' and dropped have done, will i have to zip tie the bumper and get rid of the bolt?

You will need to do a bumper/fender mount reloation...which is basically removing the OE mount, and making your own further foward. Most use zipties, but I plan on something a little bit more secure in the future.
