Default A different kind of wheel rubbing problem

I have a 1999 ford crown vic and I recently put on some 22's. They rub on turns but I can fix that, the thing that is getting to me is the right side rubs on the front bumper. I'm thinking about cutting off some of the bumper, but I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas first. Heres some pictures of what I'm talking about.

get smaller rims?

22's on a car looks dumb in my opinion. if you stuck with 20's and lowered it nice and tight then it would look sick. and you wouldnt have any rubbing issues unless you lowered it too much.

Yeah I posted this after I saw that thread on donks/bubbles/etc I shoulda known better lol. I ended up cutting out a little bit and bending the metal part out of the way, now theres no rub.

for all those people that said it would look bad, it seems to fit the wheelwells fine, check it.

yeah, it'll rub out, just take a smidge of tire wear, or throw some sandpaper on it

And the only song you bump is the "inside peanut butter outside jelly" right?
