Question instructions to relocate rear bumper tab?

hello 4G fam,

I've seen people mention doing it but would appreciate if someone can share the instructions or give a few pointers. I recently installed my wheels and the rear tires are hitting the tabs when the car bounces, so i guess it's time to perform this minor body surgery.

thanks in advance and grateful for any advice.

I read that some people shave it and some people relocate the tabs. Here's the thread that I remember reading it at. https://acurazine.com/forums/tires-w...r-tabs-912245/

Do you have pictures? I'm confused. I didn't realize the tab was L shaped. Did you trim the side that's going down?

Your best bet is to shave it down without messing with the covers. Just get it down close to the screws without modifying/damaging anything else besides the tab. Judging from your stance you'll be fine from just shaving the tabs without relocating them elsewhere. Just look at the post that jtech posted and you'll get a better understanding of it.
