Default Jounce Bumpers are hitting, How to fix?

I discovered when putting everything together yesturday that the Jounce bumpers are hitting the rims, actually did a little damage to the drivers side rim. I running 275 18" x 10-1/2" on the rear. Can these bumpers be adjusted?

What's the fix?

It looks to me like a little grinder action is all that's required here ? Too bad about the rim, at least nobody can see it back there

Figure out if it's the mount, the spacer, or the bumper that is rubbing & grind it down. I would do all 3 to be safe. Or maybe come grab one of my Camaro stops to see if it has more clearance. They are different from the SS / WS6 stops.

Looks like they are all rubbing. I've got a grinder so I have to do a little trimming.

Thanks,

Well start by taking the spacer out and selling it on E-bay. they are not needed. they were a production Band aid SLP came up with and nothing more. Roll the inner lipps for free and sell the spacers for beer

Then bolt the bumpers on and grind them till t all fits nice
