Finally had the grinding/sanding procedure done on the right rear screw bracket on the rear bumper.
Initial observations :
1. Loaded the car with 5 adults - there was minimal rubbing still but not from the usual screw bracket area anymore, rather from the next screw lower to that. The one exposed to the naked eye. My tire (215/40/17) slightly rubs about a quarter of the screw head and the peripheral plastic edges of the bumper. But the rubbing is not as jarring as before I had the procedure done.
2. I can say that this sanding procedure of the right rear screw bracket is a good mod for someone on 17s or above with a lowered ride and if his tire choice does not exceed 205/40 or maybe even 205/45/17s.
3. As for the 215/40/17s, a little more trimming of the bumper edges is required and or a limiting of the passengers to a max of 4 should do the trick.
I will observe later as I will travel about 300kms back and forth to one of the outlying provinces from the city.
