What is the downside (if any) when you remove the front fender liners completely?

I've been wanting to do the same (remove the liner), but worried it may cause damage (whatever is underneath) in the long run.

mine were out, i just cut the front part and left it in to cover the wires looms. other than that just water if you encounter problems buy some and put them back in, or save your old ones.

I'm not as slammed like some of you guys, but low enough that my fender liners got holes now. I'll cut the liners then.

Thanks for the info. MV.

Anybody have any idea of other types of tires that's good for stretching? I'm currently using the falken 452's but need new tires. My specs are 215/35/19 and 235/35/19

I just picked up my is250 rwd two days ago. I am going to order wheels this week but before I did I wanted to confirm what I found searching.

To fit a 19x9.5 +22 up front, I need to: Roll fenders, cut tabs, and trim fender liners? Is that it? What size tire should I run up front?

Would it be better to run a 19x9.5 +30 up front? They're in stock also.

Also, for 19x10.5 +22 rear I have seen 265/35 fit, however do you think I should step it down to a 255/35?

Any help would be great! I'm not new to the aggressive fitment game. My wrx has 18x9.5 +18 under stock sheet metal.

Im pretty sure the CCW guy that originally posted them said they were 11.5 or even a 12 i think.

CORRECTION. They Are 18x12.5s in the rear.

btw those ccw classics look dope on breakwater blue!
