No sump gurad or spacing, stretched tyres and I have no issues with it, apart from having to slow down for the occasional speed bump that goes all the way across the road. Granted not all the arch gap is gone but enough for me.
What size are they?

The tyres look stretched, if you look at the first photo.. But you definitely have the wrong size of tires on. 30-35 profile tires are usually 17-18" rims... are you using spacers?
