Just put my 26's on with 305/30/26 and it rubs like crazy. I have a 3/5 drop kit. My question is would it be a horrible thing to yard out most of the plastic fender liners to make them work or is that a bad idea, not opposed to cutting out all that plastic out. What are the pros and cons to yarding out all the fender liners?

I'm not sure about the negatives. Some guys just remove the plastics all together.

There are no negatives to removing the liners completely. I would just pull them out if I were you.

on the front left, drivers side, be careful of the washer bottle. i have 22s and i almost rubbed it completely through. i can say your engine bay is gonna be dirty as hell. unless you only drive on sunny day, expect to get dirty

Did you try to heat it up and pry a 2x4 in there to make more space.
