I probably run the most aggressive wheel/ tire setup on the 2is awd. I have 20/35 up front and 20/30 in the rear. Fronts are 9 and rears are 10.5 ..Also lowered on BC racing coilovers. The rears are easy..Just get them rolled. Fronts are the problem with the bracket that hold the bumper to the fender. Ive redriled new holes so they are still held together and shaved off as much as possible off that bracket and metal tab that we all have rubbing issues with....STILL RUBS.. So the only other way to fix this is start moving the coilovers up. Or get those ugly tabs that hold the bumper to the fender on the outside of the fender and bumper..If anyone else has a better idea please let me know because I have spent countless hours and time into trying to find a permanent fix and have hit brick walls in trying to do so

Here is my opinion on the rubbing issue. First of all I was slammed and my front tires was getting chewed up by the fender tab that connects to the front bumper! Got tired of my brand new tires getting chewed up so I went ahead and bought the sickspeed front bumper quick release! Finally I went ahead and cut off the metal tab and the plastic tab from where the fender and bumper meets and bolts on! Installed the quick release bumper and woollaa! No more rubbing at all!
