Heres the question.. I have a 4/6 drop and 285/45/22 nitto's on tbss reps with +22mm offset. Truck is a 2011 Sierra All terrain with the factor fender well liners. I've heard people have had problems with this tire size and drop with the wheels punching or rubbing through the liners. I have the adjustable bell tech struts so i can raise it up if needed but i would prefer the 4/6. Is there any way to prevent rubbing the liner or at least minimizing the rubbing? Is it possible to heat the liners up and push them up? Any ideas help. Thanks

275/30/24 on a 5/8 drop. Take a box cutter and cut a square shape out of the liner with the wheels off. No rubbing at all after. After you remove the plastic there is a metal sheet a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch above(depending on areas) you will be fine. Don't just let it rub through. You have a nice truck. Just trim up.
 
If i do that though, won't crap from the road get stuck in behind the liner?

If you trim the front or back you will def get some leaves and stuff. There is a small gap on top. But above it is a metal plate. It's something you might have to live with. The alternative is rubbing the fenders, or buying new tires but having a ton of wheel gap. Plastic on tire is not bad. Since I have trimmed it. I have only scrapped once in a week and that is one particular dip in a freeway overpass connector. I think if you can trim carefully, small pieces at a time away and re-tack it with a self tapping screw to the underside of the liner you will be fine.

true, good point. If i screw it up again in the open spots to the fender a majority of the crap will stay out. I was think even cutting a little larger and then taking a thinner old mudflap and cutting that to shape and screwing that into the hole. That way i have the extra room and then keep that hoe shut.

thanks for the info though!
 
I was thinking the same thing, is it possible to heat up the liners with a heat gun and push it up?
