Just got to install the driver side rear RTS wheel and after setting the car back down, noticed the lower rear bumper is barely off the tire. I also have CME so that extra piece sticks out a little further than that. The tire is a Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Pro 275/60-15 and even though the pictures look like the tire is already rubbing, there might be about 1/32 of an inch in between.

My questions are, can I drive it like this seeing it may only rub against the plastic bumper? Could it be something with the alignment of the rear end? I did not try the passenger side yet as the car has to move because of the tight space. Just curious if anyone else has had this problem or similar and was able to fix it short of cutting a little bumper away.

Little more info, car sits on bilsteins and stranos other than that pretty stock back there.

You could try out some adjustable lower control arms to center the rear end in the wheel well.

You are going to have to put on adjustable lower control arms. And most likely trim the bumper.

Never would have thought about that, I do have non-adjustable ones so looks like an upgrade is needed. Do they have to be adjusted while loaded or can measurements be taken before the car is jacked up?

They make on-car adjustable lcas.

The driver side was the only one finished at the time. I am curious as well and will check it before I finish the whole project this weekend.

Ordered double adjustable LCA's so the problem should be fixed, thanks for the info guys.

In front of the rear tires there are two body seams that come together in an upside down "T", measure from the face of the tire to the "T" to get them even.

Get bolts long enough to go through the new and old arms stacked on top of each other to get you close as a starting point. Adjust with the rear up on jack stands with the stands under the rear axle.

Just get some adjustable LCAs, you shouldnt have to trim the bumper with a 28" radial - they don't grow like a biased ply tire does.
