i have the front tucking a little like half a finger gap and the back with a finger gap.. no rubbing at all.. ive taken bumps, speedbumps, potholes, fast turns, slow turns, sharp turns, i even went up a steep ramp at about 30 (last night) and came down on the other side hopeing i wouldnt scrape becuase the incline coming down on the other side was short and steep still no rubbing at all..

for those of you still running fender liners and rubbing i would suggest taking them out.
the tire rubbing on the fender liner will eventually wear a hole through the plastic.
1.) it can get kind of sharp (obviously you dont want sharp things around your tires
2.) if you rub a hole in certain areas the fender liner can fall off. (similar thing happened to me on the highway, damn thing wrapped around my axle)
