Question Front Fender Liner: What do yours look like?

Hey guys,

So there are plenty of people on here that are at my ride height or even lower, running 19's or 20's. I've been trying to figure out how much of the fender liner I should cut out or what I should do since I'm rubbing (on the top metal part as well)
I noticed on the CCS-R that there is no fender liner at least on the back half of the front:

I was wondering if those of you who are low could share some images of what your wheel well looks like to give me an idea of how to still be low but get rid of or at least greatly minimize the rubbing I have on spirited turns.

Thank you!

Pics of my ride height:

Would take a heat gun to it before taking it out completely or cutting.

I hear ya man. I am struggling too. Heating and molding has not worked great.

i went the trimming route instead of the heat method. I am running 255 fronts. Passenger side trim. It only rubs on one side in my case.
Tire clearance from fender liner for reference

Thank you so much for the picture. What does the fender liner look like on the back side (rear facing)? If you could share that and also a picture of your car from a little bit away to see your ride height that would be helpful.

I pushed in that area with a heat gun and it no longer rubs that part of the liner. 245 fronts with 25 offset.

No indication of any fender lining and tire coming into contact
I'm definitely not as low as you but side profile shot for comparison.
