Tucking tire...too much weight

Now usually I wouldnt complain that my car was too low. But right now with my 18's I'm about a little less then a finger gap. I'm leaving for school tomorrow and my cars loaded as if there were fat chicks all in back seat.

I had to have added a couple hundred bounds between clothes and the 4 packages of water and gatorade. Now the easy thing could be to just take those out but out of curiosity am I risking a blow out if the tread of my tires are tucking but the sidewall is just next to the quarter panel wall? I'm just worried about driving 4hrs and hitting a pot hole and fucking up my car.

Any ideas?

mitch is right. I just fear of rubbing on a 5 hr drive i dont want any problems. this is my last time on azine before I go so i guess i'm not going to get an answer. oh well, i think im going to take the shit i dont need out and hope for the best. I dont want too much weight on a spring/shock combo.

made it down here. car is still in one piece. although i realized how bad my front lip is after i washed it. shits just getting worse. but regardless all the stuff is out of the car and shes back to a decent height. she took most bumps like a champ but when stopped then turning i hear some rubbing of something on the rear right. my assumption is maybe the control arm? not sure though..
