#1: arch liners Author: Dan-, Location: BiggleswadePosted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 5:43 pm ---- hey there, i have a feeling i know what the answer is going to be here but as some of you may know i have lowered my car on coilovers and have them set rather low, sometimes when cornering my tyres rub on the inner arches, are they important to keep in or can i just take them out
Thanks Dan

altho get some tie wraps and some self tapping screws and you can set them back a bit further might stop them from rubbing

Long and more expensive answer is,
Arches rolled/flared
Spacers

I have a set of splash guards if you need to replace them. My answer would be to use smaller profile rubber or fit spacers and rool the archs.
