Lightbulb fender rub anyway to fix?

when from R1 suspention to Koni yellow's and H&R's I LOVE how it looks and feels but damn I must say a little lower that I thought, the front R1 lip sits a mer 3.5" off the ground... I think its fair enough to say speedbumps are not my friend... matter a fact angled or not I simply scrap over most 80-90% of all speedbumps around here not like a nic, it a dragging anywho long story short buddies apt bigger speed bump then I thought first night with new springs, up it and well I got stuck....kinda, I had to drag myself over (god that was the worst feeling in the world) yes I checked all my lines and crap Im all good. but back to the fenders, taking corners (aggressivly) or bumpy roads I will rub, scrape name it, but anywho my fenders are starting to get some nice bends in it, this there anyway to mod the fender where I wont rub the crap out of them.

NOTE: Wheels STOCK 16" tires are 225/50/16 , on that note what is the lowest profile I can get on these suckers thinking maybe 45 and what about the width I would like a little wider if I can.

Once again thats for your help.

Make sure the spring perches on the Konis are set to the highest settings. You can move the perch on the shock to 3 different positions.

Look more closely. They aren't "adjustable", but you will see 3 different spring perches on the body of the shock. You must use the highest one up front.

If that doesnt work out you will need to tear out the linings and tuck away all the wiring looms. If that doesnt work roll + pull your fenders out about 5mm. I have done all this to get my Regamasters not to rub. lol
