Guard rolling problem

I bought my 18x9.5 and 285 tires for the rear wheels for my 8.

However, the tires scrub with the guards, so I decided to do roll my guard..

However, the result is not good, because there is a part of the guard where I cannot roll because there is a bolt that sit on the guard that connect the rear bumper with my fender..

Now, the result is better, but the scrubbing is still there..

Is anyone else have a problem like me?? What is the solution besides of changing the tires? Thanks..

285???

265 and 275 would work without all the issues your having.

depends on the offset^
ive seen someone run 285s out back, with no rubbing issues, on here before but he probably had a higher offset.

This is a common problem, like tbk said, shave down the tab and cut away some of the plastic liner on the well.
