you could roll the fender lip.

Pretty much two options, you may need to do both. I had to roll my fenders and use a BFH mod on parts of the wheel well. Try to find someone local to let you borrow one of these since it's a one time use type of thing. Just remember to keep the paint hot or it will crack.

I found a local body shop that had experiance with this mod and for $100 they did it right. Can't even tell it's not stock.

I don't recommend trying to roll the outer fender with out the proper tool. I've heard of people using a variety of thigns but I can't imagine they turn out right.

My local car club had the roller I posted a link to. I borrowed it and it was no problem. ~20 minutes figuring out the first side and 10 on the second side.

If its your tires scrubbing the inner fender, i think the BFH (Big "Freaking" Hammer) mod is the cheapest and probably the easiest way to go.

As far as rolling the fenders that tool looks pretty handy. I've seen it before but have never seen anyone use it before seeing that site camarro 3667 provided. Probably the safest way to go too.

On the other hand I've used a metal baseball bat on other cars I've had in the past. Those small ones for kids work well because of the size and they are usually wrapped in a plastic shrink wrap sleeve when they are sold. That plastic can act as protection and prevents your car from being scratched or stripping the paint right off.. I dont know if thats the most appropriate tool in this case but it might work.

I had to do the BFH mod on both my inner fender wells. Took me the better part of a weekend to make sure it looked right, then I stripped them both and reapplied fresh rubberized undercoating. They look ten times better now, and I'm glad I did it.

I just can't imagine using the BFH mod. I guess it just depends on how much you think of your car. If you like your car, surely you'll at least use a fender roller. I have the same problem and my solution is going to be some spacers in the rear. I'm not going to mess with my fender lip at all.

I had the same problem when I lowered my car after replacing the wheels...like said already...you will need to roll the fenders if its cutting on the outside. I don't really see how using a BFH on the inner fender wall will help since it wont change the alignment of the wheel to the outer fender wall...if thats where its cutting.

This is the route I would take..... not always best to do things yourself.... especially if you don't have the right equipment or the experience to do it.

grinder to the fender wells and mask and paint

Also if you are still using the stock PHB, the rubber bushings in it could be allowing more lateral deflection than wanted. You might want to consider an adjustable PHB with wide rear wheels/tires.

why do you have such big spacers?

I had the same problem, and 1/2" spacers and the adjustable phb fixed the problem. I can't do anything about the really big bumps though. I'm just going to upgrade the shocks.
