Front Fender Tab relocation

Is there a write up around here? I'm running 18x10.5 +22 all fenders rolled, but my front keeps rubbing. And the culprit is that bumper tab where it bolts to fender. Please help!!! I'm trying to avoid using bumper quick release.

Maybe raise the car up or buy wheels that actually fit the car. Seems most logical to me

That's right 90% of current Evo owners just want to be "mad tyte slammed herrfrush yo"

Logics go right down the damn toilet. **** it just let it rub till it completely grinds the bolt away, or rips the fender and bumper clean off the car. Then just use zip ties

you can remove the large 10mm bolt and use a screw with big threads and a flat head. Match the diameter. That 10mm bolt threads into a plastic body clip retainer, so, any flat headed faster will also fit.

If you want to remove the tab completely, that's a doable thing but you'd need some plastic fabbing skills....

You could probably shave that tab off, headlight doesn't need another bolt holding it down, on top of that use the quick release method to put the bumper back on.
