I'm not joking, mine only does it when I turn full lock on a hill, the top of the tyre hits the fender lip because tyre too thick (like my 2in penor)
I wouldn't worry about it, just reverse out slow, take your time and no scrub
I dun wan no scrub
Scrub is a gay that can't get no lovin fram meh

Yer I try going down the curb slow and over bumps slow and side ways but it still scrapes just wanting 2 find out if I need stiffer shocks and if any one has cut or bashed the inner arch seam flat

That's more your choice on if you want to be driving a harder ride or having the risk of damaging your fenders
I just left mine, was planning on making mine flat to solve my issue but yh nh cbf

get coilovers 20kg front spring and 18kg rear springs will sort out your scrubbing issue, good dampers at that spring rate is good for street to believe or not, from experience. =P

did you replace your shocks after putting in the king springs?
you could also try running a smaller tyre size/profile
