yeah i had that issue also, i had to shave it a lil which isn't a problem because theres no screw or clip there, can't say the same for the front though

yeah for the front im running 19x9 +11, and i had to remove that screw, shave that tab all the way off, and relocate the screw a little further up towards the front of the bumper. Works for now. Do you have a camber kit at all. Also how much did you shave off that rear bumper and fender. I shaved it but under compression it seems like it still sits on my tire. And you have an extra 6mm on me possibly.

I'm not sure if the car is legal since the tires are sticking out beyond the fender body. Depending on which state, it could be a ticket magnet.

Nope, because it's not "literal" everyone. Not much around the area where I am at that have it like this, especially where there are lots of luxury cars flying around the street daily, not to mention the exotics (ie. Ferrari) that I see here and there. Probably because it is strict here but rarely on occasion I have seen few cars, van, SUV and truck have it setup this way.
