Help!! Bad rubbing problem!

I just lowered my car on Tanabe Gf-210 and i am rubbing super bad!!

My passenger side is the only side really affected. It looks like it has been hitting the fender and i took out all the screws for the fender liner. Pulled the fender with my hands as much as i could.

It also rubbed a whole in the fender well right where the bumper mounts. Is there a way to fix this issue?

I am running 245/35/20 up front 275/30/20 in the back. Generals.

ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!

A shorter tire up front should stop the rubbing.

If you're sticking with the Generals then a 235/30 will do. Generals run big so your 245/35/20 is like a 255/35/20. You want a 245/30/20 which in Generals sizing is a 235/35/20

get a heat gun and rubber mallet if you dont know anybody with a fender clamp
take out the screw mounts. Heat it up (needs to be a bit hot to the touch) and flatten the inner lip with the mallet carefully (not too flat or all the way flat its up to you)

like the others said generals are fata$$ tires get small ones
I suggest 225/35 since its cheaper usually. You'll have a bit of stretch and still have that no gap effect

I fixed this issue. Bending the bracket back and shaved down a little of my inner bumper fixed it no problem. I will be running smaller series in the future, I had just bought these before i lowered. Mistake i guess.

How did you remove the bumper bracket?
