Pulling rear fenders?

I don't know how much this has been discussed, but I was needing some help.

I just got a new wheel setup, 18x9.5+23 with 245/40/18 tires and am rubbing in the rear. I already have the rear fenders rolled and my camber should be around -1/-1.5 with 0 toe. What can I do to alleviate the rubbing I'm getting the rear? My drop isn't aggressive either, I'm on Swift springs which lowers it -0.8 in the back (I also have a heavy system in the trunk).

Any suggestions on what I could do?

Relocate the bumper bolt bro. I replaced mine with a zip tie in the meantime to lessen the rub.

Yup thats it. Its the bolt that connects the bumper to the quarter panel. We have the same setup on wheels and same camber. Mine does not rub when i hit a bump.

What drop do you have? The rubbing is driving me crazy. I just looked at your solution link, I wonder the following...

1. How much clearance does this mod allow?

vegasevo9,

You don't have any rubbing issues? I'm sure youre coilovers also help with how much the car travels during bumps. Have you ever driven with 4 passengers and rubbed?

Thanks for all this help man, I really appreciate it.
