Just to let you know the rubbing is not becuase of the tire size its because you most likely have the wrong offset wheels.

Opposite... Too little offset means your wheels are too much "outboard" already... Machining down the mounting surface would do it (tuck them inside the car a little more), dunno about reliability on that though!
The little bump you have to bend in is where the metal fender meets the plastic rear bumper.
With a 43mm offset, the 225 rubber on my 18's doesn't rub at all, and my car is low. Like Brad said, only on the plastic liner inside the fenderwell.

Well i had the wheel well shaved were the metal lip meets the plastic. Gave it a little room. But not sure if it's just the stock shocks wearing down on me.
Thanks for the help by the way.
