AGGRESSIVE ISX50 wheel thread
Yeah I've thought countlessly on ways to have some sort of hidden quick release without hitting the tire, so luck so far ( I could do it with much smaller wheels though) And I honestly do not know the offsets on these wheels... at ride height my rears are at -7 degrees camber, aired out I assume I'm at least -9 degrees. I really don't think the offset is under +20 but I really don't know, thanks for the compliments!
07is250...bravo my friend, sick fitment
Guys, the bumper tab is easy...if you take the front bumper off, you will see all the extra metal you can cut off to not only let you drop a bit more, but remove any rubbing.
Sorry I didn't take more and better pictures during this process, but you can see how the metal looks before any trimming and then how much you can remove without losing the strength of the honeycomb bumper bracket. The pics are from other sides of the car, and before I used the grinder to clean up the cuts, but you get the point. And then trimming the corner tab off and drilling in a smaller self-tapping screw to hold the corner in will hold the corner in tight.
I have had no issues since I have done this, and I have actually done this on 4 other ISs since mine...all with success.

This was a recent rolling shot...I was aired down completely in the front and rolling without any rubbing, and you can see that the bumper corner is snug without any external tab showing.
And now that I look at this, I need some freakin spacers for the front to hand with you guys now...LOL

Excuse the hotlink. Not my picture.
I only rub on ramps/driveways/dips. But still very annoying on these OH roads. Especially when all i want is moar low. I want to take it out completely. Im rolling 19x9.5 +25 up front. Just high enough that I can turn to full lock on a flat surface (2 fingers from the rim). I catch right on the corner of my tire. +30 and i wouldn't rub at all. I just want my front to sit the same height as the rear. Then I'm going to pull the rears and camber out.

stewb10...it's a constant process of rubbing, trimming where it rubs, and then testing again...which sucks but is really the only way to do it without getting crazy and cutting off too much and ruining the appearance of the fender/bumper.
And it gets better...once you remove all the material you are rubbing on and you lower the front more, you will hit your UCA on the inner fender well...lol

I've relocated my bumper tab. Now I'm rubbing on the actual bumper bracket. This guy:
