It's not noticeable.

Is this the same place yours is rubbing - at the lower roll under for the rocker panel? Can you just grind the edge of the lip back slightly, contour it and touch up the edge with some paint? I think the body update came between our cars so mine may be slightly different in that area.

Here was the bottom of my fender lip showing the contact before I did some grinding.

No Dan, not even close. I am 5" above your location (see pics I just took).
I also have a little damage to the Pass side, but nothing like this.
I am running BFG 235/60R15. I believe this is what is called out for by ERA.
