Default Solution to Rubbing...

on the inside of my fender well. like on the inside, engine bay side. my tires are rubbing pretty nicely.

my solution i think is gonn abe grinding down the areas until they don't rub anymore? any other ideas....or is grinding like that a bad idea?

I used an air hammer. If you break any paint make sure you seal it back up.

yea that's what I do, just hammer the bitch in till it stops rubbing. What size rims/tires do you have? Or is it just dumped real low?
