So my wheels rub...

I finally got the 10mm spacers i needed for the rear wheels to clear the calipers and put them on this morning.

They sit mad flush and look sick, with the neg camber from my drop they tuck right into the fender.

Only problem is, they rub the wheel well lining when i hit bumps and ****. So i dunno what to do. Im thinking about just removing the lining, or cutting the edge off where its hitting i dunno. Any suggestions.

I do now, did you trim it also?
I am afraid to do the trimming in the front because of all the wires for the headlights

Yeah thats what i was gonna do until i read blackjacks diy. Ill prob take em out and never cut em too lol.

I get scared that im hitting that bumper bracket thing too cause i hear 2 diff rubbing noises and one of em sounds like it hurts. Gotta take out that liner and see if i still hit.

^^You are probably also hitting the metal tab and bolt that holds the bumper and fender together. I had to bend and grind that as well. All good now though.
