DONT remove your bumpstops UNLESS it is a track car. I removed mine a long time ago. I drove the car a lot on the street, just not enough to classify it as a daily driver. Without the bumpstops, FORGETABOUTIT! My *** hurt so bad and my kidneys are STILL compressed after those LITTLE bumps that turned into GIANT sized bumps due to the bumpstops being missing.
Its better to either buy the right disk and or rim. Either grind your caliper or buy the correct sized stuff. That little bumpstop does SO MUCH. I eventually had a shop fab up new bumpstops for me. I was in HEAVEN afterwards!

Im in the same boat as you. I think you use the BFH mod, in the area in front of the bumpstop, where inner fender makes a bend. Its kinda hard to describe. Some guys remove the bumpstop and bracket, to get the most clearance.

I just mounted the wheels, on the car and I've got about 2", from the rear quarter panel and about the same amount, on the front side of the tire(front quarter panel)
Do you by chance have a pic of a rolled fender? I wont know if I need to roll it, until I get my car off jackstands.

if u have 275/60 with 15x10 7.5 you will clear bump stops with ease. you need to put stands on frame in front of lcas and lower rear and lay down and watch back side of tire when it comes down. When tires hit the bump stops the rear has to be hanging a good bit.
