Westcott Designs -- Pushing fender linder forward to prevent tire rub

[EL616]

I was watching this build video from Westcott and they mention "pushing the liner forward" and something about trimming the clips to clear rub. I have just a tiny bit of rub in the front at full lock with +20mm offset and 285s, and I'm curious how they accomplished this, but I can't find any details. Any ideas on what exactly they did and what the level of effort would be?

I have 35s and 17x9 +12 wheels so I trimmed off one of the tabs at the bottom of the front part of the fender and just pushed the felt towards the front of the car or front bumper.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but if you trimmed off a tab, what's holding the felt liner in position where you pushed it forward? What keeps it from just flexing back to its original position and hanging there? Would love a picture or two if you have the time!

in his video he’s running a 17” wheel and a +35 offset for one.

Sorry been super busy but you just push it back with your hand and it pretty much stays
