Default EL + Superlows + Short Travel Shocks + 245/40/18's = Bad

Dont get me wrong, It looks nice! But I have a small problem.

I got some 245/40/18's put on the rear today ( I wanted 255's but they only had 245s there, so i thought they would do)

Anyone else have a similar package?

It now bottoms out over bumps : (tyres hit the side of the guard, and scrape the top)
Note: However, i did have 3/4 of a tank of fuel, and two stockies in the boot. But, if i try and put people in the back now, its going to kill my guards and tyres lol.

I have been saying for ages i never have a problem, nor did i have to get my guards rolled. But it looks like now i only have a few options.


1 - Go back to 235's
2 - Get rid of Superlows (this is very unlikely, id rather have 235's then no superlows!)
3 - Put crap shocks in and not short travel shocks
4 - Get the guards rolled (im scared of them cracking the paint)

Can i get the rear guards rolled, and if so, What did everyone else pay ?

I had 235/40/18s, and never had a problem. Im guessing i wont be going 255's :(

If someone else has the same setup, or similar, id love to know what you have done.
