I cut part of my liner already but driver side wheel is rubbing on the inner fender flares still. Didn't want to just hack them so wanted to see if anyone else has trim them before? Any recommendations much appreciated.

Pictures show where the tire is rubbing the flare. Line on the flare is what I marked but decided not to cut just quite yet.

You are gonna have to cut A LOT to get those tires to clear. A better side shot will show more of the issue, but if you're tire is rubbing just sitting still with the tires straight, you are screwed.....

They only rub when steering is turn fully not when it's straight... I don't mind the minimal rubbing but it catches onto the fender flares on the driver side and makes a popping sound from being lifted and slapping back down.

Pics attached.

You need a 3 "collar by the looks of it.

Even an inch and a half more clearance would rub under full lock and sharp dip. Cut it away. It won't be visible unless you stick your head in there and look for it. If you go 3" frt will sit higher than the rear and that looks like crap
