rear arch liners - kingy - 23-07-2012
ive got alot of scrubbage going on at the back end after ive fitted my wheels. i know i need my arches rolled but ive noticed that the tyre is scrubbing on the inside of the tyre on the arch liner.
can i remover the liner to stop the scrubbin or can i cut a peice out of it.
or any other sugestions?

Well they're pretty much your options - spacers, remove or trim. Mine caught but as I'm already running 20mm spacers, I had to modify them.
I wouldn't recommend removing them as then all the crap will get up there and you'll have rot like a lot of the older cars. I trimmed mine where they were touching, probably about 4-5 inches up. Then screwed them back up with self tappers to hold them in place and stop the majority of crap getting up there. Next time the wheels are off I'll put some sealant around them to stop it completely.

you might find youve lost a trim clip or something. might be worth having a look, or just using a self tapper/cable tie to hold it out of the way

I have just taken my rears out, but I went and got a tub of old school wax oil. Brushed all the shit away any loose rust got wire brushed! And wax oiled the shit out of it everywhere, won't rust now l

i would not put a screw's into the steel, it will brake the paint/galv and just cause rust

Just fit bigger spacers. And take a bigger hammer to the arches. Job jobbed.

Mine failed the MOT on the wheels fouling the inner arches due to beam so I just parked around the corner smashed them in with a hammer and took it back round. Guy was like "WTF" lol but passed it as they cleared fine
