lowered on ksports, riding 225/35/20s. rolled fenders but im still rubbing on that tab that holds the bumper on. i trimmed excess plastic off around the screw with a dremel. any ideas? i do need a RSB and i dont rub all the time but its frequent if im going down a hill and turning at the same time at any speed other than moderately slow or any situation similar

simple...you need 30 series tires and relocate bumper tab.

jstforme

not gonna go 30 series. my 225/35s already strech a lot more than most 225/35s. its just a little too thin of a sidewall for my taste on a 8.5 inch wheel how do i relocate the bumper tab? seems like the only viable option would be to cut it off and expoxy it on further back?

Mine did the same thing. I did everything you did and it was still rubbing. I bent the tab up and gained enough clearance so it doesn't rub there anymore. Now it's rubbing below the tab, on the lip of the bumper.

civic, already have dremeled as much as i can. i think me and a few others are getting the 'tab' confused. im talking about where the bumper is attached to the body. thats what im hitting. im not talking about the tab for the fender liner, ive already bent those up. ive already got a plan on what im going to do

we know what your talking about. we know your not talking about the fenders, thats called rolling the fenders. were talking about relocating the bumper tab. which means just like it sounds. cut it off and relocate it to a different spot so it wont rub.

Is this on the front? Only the front has tabs for a fender liner.

jstforme

nah, rear is where my problems lie. yeah i bent in those tabs up front

civic-how do you go about remounting the tabs, to me the best option is to jb weld the seam, maybe even use a little bit of fiberglass, then cut the tabs off. otherwise how is it viable to cut them off and essentially glue them back on 2 inches away. how does that make any sense?

what offset are your wheels and what brand tires did you get?

jstforme

im runnin your legend2s, achilles atr sport tires, i usually dont do brands im unfamiliar with but i do like them a lot. i never had issues when i was running neg camber but i got them zero'd out and rub now. i am pretty low, as i said before i am at 2 inches from the top of the rim to the bottom of the fender. tomorrow im gonna take off the wheels and take a look at the situation. i have some fiberglass joint tape and jb weld for a remedy if it looks feasable.

jstforme

im surprised i havent heard how i would go about relocating the tab. its like i keep hearing relocate relocate duh, as if this is expected. so what you are saying is dremel it off and 'glue' it back on. really? the only way that woud reeeally work is if you took the bumper completely off, welded back on the body tab, then epoxy or whatever the tab back on the bumper, then reinstall. def not trying to go thru all that mess. chances are im going to use fiberglass tape and jb weld or epoxy, then dremel off the tabs tomorrow once everything has set and dried and have no problems ever. i just dont understand this "relocating tab' deal. please explain how this is needed fellas.

jstforme

got under the car today and "relocated the bumper tab"....but there is no relocating the bumper tab lol. i think you guys meant to say relocate the screw that holds the bumper to the body then dremel. anyhow job is done and im very pleased. thanks for your help.
