Just wondering, what would be the result of removing the back fender liners. I've determined that this is whatrubs when people are in the back. The inner lining on my back passanger fender is tearing right at the seam (wherethe plasticbends to hook under the metal fender lip).

 

i have the same problem, so i had the liners cut a little, but i still get rubbing, so if u remove it u mite stop the rubbing. im not sure if removing it will be bad for other stuff, but water and dirt cud possibly get to places where u dont want it to.

 

Is it rubbing because you have the incorrect tire size? Or is there something else wrong? like weak/worn out shock/coil spring?

 

i believe it rubs cos of the wheel size and cos i lowered the car. when theres no one sittin in the car, there is about an inch gap from the tire and fender/liner

 

Ah,ok..that explains it...Ya, if you stick with the original 17's and drop the rear 1.5 inches there won't be any problems...

 

I've got 245/40/18s on 18x7.5" wheels with a +38 offset. The car rubbed before being lowed and rubs more now. But it only rubs the plasticnot the metal.

 

hmmmmm........well....i suppose you can cut or remove the liner, but than every rock, dirt, and other crap that your tires fling will echo into the cabin....it will get very annoying after a while...

 

Did you lower the car at all?
I don't think so..

 

Did you lower the car at all?
I don't think so..

 

hm...maybe i should try bending the inner plastic fender as well. I have 225/40/18 w/ 38mm offset, and get rubs when people are in the back. I think its hitting metal though, because i have a gash in the treads of my back tires that werent there when new, and arent on the fronts....You think i can just push it with a rubber hammer or will the plastic bounce back into its original shape?

 

Geez all this typing of beating the X into submission is giving me a headache!

 

Yeah,
I figured....you'll be ok with those tires as long as you don't drop in some lowering springs..

 

I just realized why every rock that passes under me in the nissan sounds like a machine gun beating in the cabin, I don't have the front fender liners. I guess I'll put them back on this weekend. I've just been lazy lately!

 

haven't we all?

 

haha u can say that again

 

Are we all naturally lazy and there are those who have beat that trend, or are we all hard workers but society has set us up to be lazy motherfudgers!

 

I believe its cos of the hard work that we tend to be lazy, so when we are not working, we'd rather not do nething

 

04X has put it best!
