^Crap, sorry to hear that Chris. You gotta trim that bracket as much as possible. I have a 225/35 and rub that bracket all the time, my clear corners are always popping out, I bet you rub it even more with a 245/35/

Yeah like Marcus said, you gotta shave/trim some of the bracket off. I did quite a bit and no more rubbing, well...when I had side markers that is.

You're going to need stiffer suspension Chris to run a setup that aggressive and not pop the corner lights ...or smaller sidewalls. I too suffered from popped sidemarker syndrome at once

Damn, didnt realize you guys had been through this already...Chris, I do need a stiffer suspension for sure...

...ill be triming the bracket this weekend. I wish I could get smaller tires but cant afford to buy some. Anyone have an extra driver side clear corner?

I trimmed the hell out of the bracket as much as I could, and put a bolt and nut further towards the middle of the light (for the fender), then I drilled a small hole in the backet and fender and put a zip tie thru it so the light wont pop out anymore even if it does hit.

I have not once popped a side marker, and my car is probably driven harder than the majority of yours combined. Did the math.

What are your widths, offsets and tire size up front? You are likely no where near as aggressive and low as most of us here in this thread, that is why you've never popped a side marker.
