Options on wheel arch liner clearance?!

[Col1]

I’ve got a set of 255/55/r17 KO2’s on the van and although they look great and perform well off road, I’ve only got about 10mm of clearance at the rear of the rear wheels and the liner. I did have about 2mm, but managed to loosen off the fasteners and creat a bit more space. Does anyone know if there are any liner options with more clearance?
Cheers
Col

Any thoughts, or am I the only person stupid enough to do it?!

I’ve heard of folks using a heat gun to distort the standard liner. Would that work?

 

[Col1]

Yeah, I think so. There is a profiled section that adds stiffness where it is most tight. I bit of heat might get the profile in the opposite direction to retain the rigidity but increase the clearance.

I have the same amount of clearance. Not had an issue in it rubbing or catching so its never bothered me

 

[Col1]

Cheers Chris. What size tyres are you running?

 

[T6ChrisO]

Cant remember pal and its out on hire at the minute. I just know they are KO2's

 

[Col1]

Nice one, thanks.

How did you get on with the heat gun? Did that help give you extra clearance? I’m having a similar issue so looking for options
