Are we talking some serious rubbing?

If you can trim the bumper / front valance in a subtle way, you may be able to keep your wheel/tire combo

I want 35" tires on mine.. But its required to fit it with a 3" inch leveling kit.. If he has the 2.5" leveling kit he needs to get the 3" to make it work..
