Default 92-95 civic hatchback rear wheel wells?

Hey i was wondering what is the best way to roll my rear wheel wells on my hatch? My wheels rub in the back when i hit decent size bump. Do you guys have any particular way or tools you guys use to make it easier and not to dimple the actual paint or metal? any help is greatly appreciated

Is it actually rubbing against the wheel well lip?(do you see rub marks on the tire sidewalls) I know alot of people assume it's the wheel well lip. Raise the car up to see where you are actually rubbing. I don't know how low your car is but everyone I know said the they had the same problem but when I look at it, it is actually rubbing where the bumper and rear qtr. panel connect/screw on. If it's what I think it is it'll be shinny from the paint wearing out due to the rubbing. It's a small metal tab that can easily be bent in.

I was rubbing on the rear bumber and the 1/4 pannel two, i took a hand file and took off like 1/8" off the plastic of the bumber and it worked fine.

cool well i found this little piece of metal that i think MIZIKETSK was talking about. It was just a little tab of metal. I bent it in and up and i think that might do it. i have not gone to drive and find out if thats it but i think that might do it. I might have to see if it is the bumper also B HATCH, thanks for the help guys.
