Default NNBS: Belltech Spindles Question

I just installed my 2" lowering 2509 Belltech spindles on my 2011 Crew cab. I'm running stock size 275/55R20 tires on VHO wheels. The question is, are y'all have issues with the tires rubbing on the back side of the inner fender liner? Mine is rubbing pretty good where I heated up the plastic liner and pressed it back but still is rubbing at the very bottom. I'm thinking about cutting some liner off but haven't heard anyone complain about this when I was researching this.

Thanks!

Mine rubbed the plastic liners too. I am running 265/45/22 up front. It eventually rubbed thru and now only rubs on larger dips.

I ran 305-40-22 and rubbed. I took out fender liner and folded the fender lip back and reinstalled liner. No rub at all now.

Thats what I've basically done is fold the back of the liner behind the metal mounting point and it has helped a lot but still looking to full proof it so it doesnt hit at all and rub a hole through the liner.
