Default Keep fenderliners?

I will be installing 15x9.5 freeforms with 245/40 15’s on my na , as soon as I finish my bushing install. I started with 15x8’s ,225/45 15’s and I managed to keep my fenderliners. Has anyone done this on something similar to what I am going to?

With that tire and wheel set up your front fender liners will be self extracting.

Yeah, that is what I was afraid of,lol. It is nice to keep it cleaner, but I know this is supposed the biggest combination on an na without flares. Thanks guys for the input. If anyone else has tried this , succeed or fail , let me know.

I am running 295 (stock diameter) on 15x12 wheels and my OEM fender liners haven't self extracted yet

The only way that's physically possible is if your shocks have somewhat less bump travel than most aftermarket shocks. 15x9's with 225/45 will tear the liners out with Xidas, for example.
I might guess that you have adjusted that to keep the inside shoulders from slamming into the tub as spacing them out just puts the tires into the body seam.
