HELP: bumper bracket relocation

I have a set of 18x9.5s et 20 and a 265 tire, they rub a little and they are mostly rubbing on the bolt, my fenders are rolled tight.

So i heard people relocate this bracket? is there a diy? any pics?

any help would be awesome, thanks

as far as I know there is no info on here about relocating the bolt other than the mention of having it done

most body shops would do it...from what I understand is that it isn't that difficult but is time consuming

im not concerned about getting it done, i would like to just see what im getting into and if anyone had any advice.

like is repainting the bumper involved? i heard people overheated the tab or something...

also if what suspension and camber.

the bolt is on the inside of the fender area so repainting the bumper is a definite no

suspension and camber wise...you'll have more room to play with

What "bolt" are we talking about. I have 265s with rolled rears and no rubbing.

Please give some more details on this.

18x9 +30. I am on Tanabe GF 210 springs.

Are you talking about the front fender area??

I think maybe you are lowered too much.

alignment.....-0.9 camber in the rear - 1.9 camber in the front. 0 toe all around. Nearly perfect cross camber too.

you may need to go to 255s or roll your rears a bit more...maybe even a little stretch.

Your wheels are wide, your offset is low, and your tires are wide......something has to give if you plan on running with stock panels.

I am not a fan of stretch either.
