It doesn't rub on the liner anyway, it rubs on the chassis.

Wouldn't be surprised if you end up with scraps of rubber inside the cabin.

I've burnt my elbow on molten rubber, it was hanging out the window at the time of the burnout

Know what you mean I had 235s on the front and it was annoying
255's on the rears once and not one rub looked tough!!

Pfft I cant even get mine to start doing a burnout hahah. Actually does skidding from hard braking count?
Its funny I cant get 600kms out of a tank, cant out drag V8s and I've prob got one the best maintained FTO's on this forum.

Okay, going to take the guard liners off. :/ unless the heat gun can do wonders....but that's too much effort. Got the wheels aligned and balanced (great folks at Bosman tyres) one of the tyres had a puncture, fixed that. Found out that I had wrong set of wheel nuts.. it didn't taper in, so picked up a new set. Car feels good now minus the bit of scraping.

My tyres were scraping the inner guard, I put a couple of tech screws into the upper front and front of the guard into the metal behind, that held my guard far enough away from the tyres to stop the scrubbing.

Hmm that's an option.... I was thinking along cable ties and heat gun.
