Anyone has had this happen? Tire rubbing made a hole through the fender lining and now tire rubs on these metal parts? And if so how do I correct this ?

Ya, ive had this happen! What I did was I took the liner off, took an angle grinder and grinded the metal down a bit, then I put the fender liner back on and used self tapping screws and screwed the liner so it gets snug to the metal so you no longer rubber metal nor plastic.

I am rub free!
