Default PIC Request: Rear fender liner rubbing

I know its random, but i'm looking for a comparison picture. Just a peek at someones rear fender lip without any rub wears, and a picture with wears from rubbing. I'm running 255/40 on 17x9 +45 rpf1s at stock height and thought i wouldn't rub but it looks like i've been rubbing quite a bit. Just looking to see what i should be seeing or what i shouldn't be seeing. It seems like the lining/trim piece near the edge of the fender is fraying and splitting into two layers along the inside.

How do you know it's the rear?

Rears don't have fender liners.

^Exactly. If you are rubbing its likely on the bumper, bumper tab or on the fender lip. It is most likely rubbing on the inside lip of the bumper as that's the lowest point and where the tire would first make contact with something. If it is past that the next place is the inner fender lip that has that little black rubber trim. It is unlikely to be the bumper tab since if it hit that there would likely be more damage to the quarter panel.

AHH lol i have just been referring it as a liner also LOL, but i am talking about the black trim of the fender lip. The plastic is shredding apart and i was wondering if its normal with my setup cause i was told it wouldnt rub anything at stock height

Yup you need to roll the fenders or check you alignment. It may be possible to run a little more camber and get away without rolling but you should also look at the bumper as well because it may also be rubbing their. You want to make sure this is resolved before it rubs through that black trim because then the metal lip will shred your tire and possible damage your fender.
