Default 315/7 rub on outer fender

Well I have 315/3/17 sumitomos out backon TT2 17x10.5 i believe. Well they used to rub on both inner fender and outer fender a bit even before lowered. Took out the bump stop and solved innner fender problem. I recently lowered with eibach sportlines and the rear end rubs like crazy when i hit any bump on the oute fenders so I was wondering can I just take the grinder and grind them down some? Its both sides that rub and I do plan on gettin a panhard bar later on. So willl grinding them down a tad work out or what is another method that I can use? I just blew off 600 bucks on this lowering and being a college student would rather try to find the least inexpensive way to fix this.

roll your fenders and get an adjustable panhard bar.

It is in the future to do mod list. Would I be able to grind down just a little bit on the edge of the fenders seems like its a tiny hair that is making them rub...

You can rent the tool to roll the fenders for like $45. No reason you couldn't grind them, other than rust and making them sharper for next time the tire hits...

Yeah dont grind them it'll make them sharper and cause more damage. Just rent a fender roller its like $40-50 and its easy to do.

You also need to cut out the ENTIRE bump stop on the inner well behind the tire. I had those with rolled fenders, adj, phb, and they still rubbed. Now I have 335's and of course they rub even with extensive hammering.
