Default Need help with running up front

Title should say rubbing...


I just got my te37s on. Front tire is a 265 35 19. Offset is 22mm.

I know it's hard to visualize without pics so instead so my question is more geared toward correction rather than fitment.

With the drop I had on my 20's (245 35 20 18mm offset) I was tucking into the fender. I'd only rub at extreme cases. Now with the same drop, I looked much more aggressive with fitment. So to test I set my dampening to full stiff up front and drove. Sadly it rubbed on even slight heaves in the road.

What I think I want to do first before raising the car, is move the clips that retain the fender liner. As I've heard this is a successful solution for some.

Honestly Id just be doing and finding out, not posting, but it's raining and I'm bored so I figured I'd get some input to maybe prepare myself for the task.

Are these clips bolted in or do I cut them? I haven't looked yet.

Has anyone had good luck rolling their fenders? I don't feel I'm really THAT low, and I'm kinda sadened about raising the car idea.

There are pics in my album with my gtc's on if you want to see how low I am.
