When you say inner shields, are you talking about the plastic trim around the wheel? Inner fender.

And does this look too low for a 1 inch drop?

The incline on the driveway is not at a high angle, but my bumper + lip still scrapes.

Assuming that we're talking about the same thing, if your front tires are making contact with the plastic shield that's located inside the wheel well itself, it can be adjusted . I had a similar problem after my vehicle underwent a body kit project, wherein my front wheels were making contact with the shield . It's been awhile since the project, but I recall that the shields were adjustable, and I was able to move them inward to eliminate this problem .

I've recently fitted some wider tires and wheels and have some slight rubbing in the front on the inner fender liner. I saw in one of your previous posts that you said they were adjustable. I have completely removed them and am trying to find out how to adjust it but i can't find it. Could you please describe how to adjust the fender liners more inward.
