Default Tire rubs fender lining slightly when I turn, is this damaging?

When I make left turns (mainly sharper ones), I'm noticing that my front right tire rubs the fender lining. I think this is due to the inner part of the fender lining getting slightly chewed up after I put it on wrong when installing my CAI. It fits in there now, but now my tired rubs on it (hopefully just that and nothing else). Is this something that I should worry about? I was thinking about taping off any screws/sharp objects in that area just to make sure the tire doesn't rub on that stuff....

Rip it off and dont worry about it alfy... A little plastic rubbing against some rubber isnt going to hurt anything, unless its for along time.

mine does the same on the left hand side, i've tried to fix it back up again, but it still rubs slightly on full lock and especially when reversing, it drives me nuts but theres nothing i can do about it, so it'll just have to do.

LoL Jeff you're too hardcore. I can't rip it off, especially with the rainy season kicking in. Less chance of hydrolock. It's good to know nothing will get hurt though, unless I decide to drive in a full-lock circle for several hours.
