Neat builds, @redrosie and @mstaboo.
I guess fixing it to the lip really helps.
I'll probably wait and see if i have rubbing with current setup (van in pieces, currently doing the welding), with 215/80/ R15 tires, and then decide for liners. Thnx for info!

reviving this century old thread.
Does anybody know/have experience, how much more rubbing with bigger wheels is present, if any? lets say 215/75 R15 on stock syncro.

Yes they can rub... I state this from experience! LOL Make sure they're fitted with screws or the likes. These are the ones that I have: https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/t3-plastic-wheel-arch-liners.html |
Approximately how much of clearance would you say you lost inside the wheel well? you probably bolted them right?
Is there alot of mud and dirt caught behind them, ever noticed this? |
I wouldn't say "lose clearance" per say... it's when your tires do travel, it always seems to grab on the bottom and such. PITA. I guess they could be flared out on the bottom to sort of round them out a bit.

My bad, i meant what you wrote, you get rubbing in cases previously you would not.
I guess if you tinker with them enough time, you can get them to work flawlessly. As mentioned before, hot air gun is the way i guess.
