Default Need moar low!

Hi guys
So here's my deal I'm lowered on Megan LP coilovers and on 20"s and I want to go more low but the front rubs on like this metal tab. I already tried shaving it off and still rubs on the tab the the bumper retainer in on. Do I have to remove the bumper retainer and shave that metal off? Side note: I'm running 235/35/20 in the front. Will running 225/30/20 help? Need your guys help.

Definitely need to shave that metal at far as possible. And as others said 225/30 is a must to go that low

I'm surprised that you are that low with 235s. What are your wheel width and offset?

I am only 8.5x19+25 with 235/35 and I am rubbing a lot even with tab relocation. Need 225s.
