PFYC has the bolts, I dont know what you mean about scrubbing, but i think the wheel well is in there for a good reason. 
Also get new shocks, i went with bilstezines.

Fastenal also has the bolts you need. Grade 8 1/2 13X7". According to their website, you have one in your town:
Kennesaw, GA 30144 3939 Royal Dr. NW Suite113 (770)499-0931
Should be 3 or 4 bucks each.

I used 9/16 bolts in mine. I got mine at a John Deere store. If your tires are rubbing now then you won't want to go any lower unless you go with the stock tire size.
