Makes sense! Especially with how low you are...not even a lot of opportunity for stuff to get kicked up from below!!

Addressing the front rubbing issue

So as I posted previously, with the 19x9.5"+5 VT Forged SL-As and 285/35s up front at stock ride height I was getting rubbing on the fender liner at not quite full lock which made very rude and embarrassing sounds. It was enough to break the plastic louvers on one side. The rubbing is confined to a small area near the outside of the liner and I considered doing a mod myself but did not have the bandwidth right now, so I got the very expensive RKP modified liners from IND.

The following photos show 1) & 2) the area of rubbing, 3) the new liners, 4) using a heat gun and dolly to bend the ridged area, 5) the wheel well with liner removed, and 6) new liner in place.

The result was successful, but there is still only about a millimeter clearance at that raised ridge area, but slight contact is not going to hurt anything. I am concerned that the open mesh of the new liner is going to let more debris through coming off the tire compared the the angled louvers.
