You're mistaking flex rub with "improper backspacing" rub. They are two different things and totally unrelated. I'm surprised nobody has said that yet. Your tire are rubbing the sway bar at full lock because you have too much backspacing or your axle isn't centered so you're rubbing on the passenger side. Rubbing due to flex is a totally different story and is unrelated to backspacing. That's the type of clearance highline fenders allow. Learn the differences.

I kinda said this on page 1 when I stated I see no relation to highline fenders and rubbing at lock. Perhaps I should have elaborated.

Did i say it also? You can't just go highline and think all of your rubbing problems will disappear. Backspacing is crucial in moving your tires out further from the sway bar links.
