I run the same size and they don't rub on anything I have 17x8 +35 for my fronts. with coilovers

most likely you have too low of an offset? ie there sticking out too far? what are the width and offset of your rims?

just trim the bumper back a little bit and it should be fine, never mind it looks like its just hanging on there the ONLY way to fit fiberglass parts is to fully bolt it in place everytime you do it. If you just hold it up make sure you got a few friends to help you hold it everywhere it needs to be. You hold one side tight to the car the other side is hanging off you will never get proper fitment this way it doesnt flex like a urethane bumper will.

Trimming and fiberglass did the trick! Thanks.

These are some 4.00" BI-Xenon HIDs with angel and devil eyes. I bought them from China.

Used Shine's plexiglass covers as a template and made Lexan covers. Sealed with transparent window sealant to keep the water out.
