Against ERA's recommendations, I'm running 27 inch tall 70 series tires on my front and when first set up my left one rubbed a little on the bottom of the lip where it is rolled under. I ground a little on the lip to angle the inside edge back a little and just barely cleared. But by the time I set the suspension height and aligned the front, I ended up with good clearance. It's not noticeable.

Is this the same place yours is rubbing - at the lower roll under for the rocker panel? Can you just grind the edge of the lip back slightly, contour it and touch up the edge with some paint? I think the body update came between our cars so mine may be slightly different in that area.

Here was the bottom of my fender lip showing the contact before I did some grinding.
