Mine bolted on with no clearance issues whatsoever, 17x11 wheel with a 50mm offset and your good to go. My car is at stock height though, some of the guys on here say an adjustable Panhard rod in necessary for a lowered car.

Absolutely no need to cut the bump stop off entirely. I never touched mine. Just couldn't let the rear axle hang for a tire change. No biggie.
Removing the BS will allow your rear axle to travle too far upwards, increasing the risk of the tire contacting the wheel well, and damage to your shocks.

I have a set of 315/30/18 bfg's on c6 rims on my 02 ws6. stock ride height and i had to hammer alot of the inner fender wells to get the to fit without rubbing. ajdustable panhard helped a little but much hammering was involved and i cut off the bump stops. i still have on more spot to hammer as i noticed when i was at the track this weekend and pulling the wheels off the ground, the tires rubbed one little spot on the side. good luck

Lift the car from the rear diff. and you don't have to cut your bump stops. Lifting from there will keep your rear sus. from drooping, and you can install your wheels with no problems.

Post this again, and you will get a time out.

Just because you feel it is acceptable to completely disregard manufactures recommendations, does not make it advisable.
