rear bumper bracket and arch liner needs modifing, i cut my bracket off completely and melted the arch liner flat and then silicone sealed it to the rea of the arch.
You can get away with just cutting the corner off the arch and hammering the bracket out of the way but i wanted to be sure

On the front the arch liner only needs to be cut a little to stop rubbing on full lock.

Im on 16's on 195/45 down 50mm and i can have a full car and no rubbing
