im running 9.5 and +40 in the back.. i have roll and slight pull/flare, and i only rub the bumper.. my tires are actually wearing down the bumper so soon it shouldn't rub at all...

make sure it's not rubbing the actual fender and you should be ok.. if it is.. run smaller tires and some negative camber and you should be fine

I should've never gotten the Firestone lifetime alignment thing... they only would do alignment according to stock... any one knows if this is not true?

hhmmm, checked out the car at first, I think you guys are right about the bumper tab, seems to have a lot of "rubbing residue" around that area...
