i thought you were going with a 215 tyre and small offset? if so you only need to take a bit out of the rear of the front bumpe, unless of course you like the look of the trimmed front bumpers, you can cut down the bottom of the bumper when you have trimmed it off and the trim a skid plate out of the off cuttings, keeping the two front top screw holes and the bottom two that screw onto two brackets at the bottom.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Bow shackles.
Dee shackles are the ones with the straight sides.
The extra long arm dee shackles are called piling shackles.
Get safety pin ones if you are leaving them on, they won't come undone and fall off as you go along like the screw pin ones. (But they are harder to attach the end of the rope to, and the rattling will drive you nuts anyway if they are loose on the front)
Screw pin shackles usually live in a box inside the car. (one at each end of the tow strap
, and a couple of spares)
When you come to use them, you fit them and slip them through the loop of the tow strap.
All types are available certified to lift various weights.
You can buy uncertified ones, but anyone sensible won't tow you attached to one of those :ohmy:
