Looks like tyre rubbing due to offset and lowering. Can you remove the lining completely or will your tyres still rub?

You should be fine. Just leave it, unless its sagging and causing it to rub more.

Looks bad. Probably spraying the fog light harnesses with water and junk but ... mostly it just looks bad.

Any disadvantages from removing liner completely other than water into headlights?

i think the lining helps reduce some of the noise, but not 100% sure
