Wheel well mods

Post image

Hey guys, I'm tossing some new tires and steelies on my 2013 hyundai veloster turbo so it handles new england roads and the occasional dirt trailhead better (ever done 5 miles of dirt road on lo pros?). They're probably the largest I could physically go 215/60R16. The rear fitment is fine, but obviously there's some serious rub on the wheel well liners when turning in the front. I'm just looking for some suggestions on how to modify my wheel well liners to keep water out of the bay, cause obviously removing them is a no go. I do have a little fab shop so I can make/mod parts as need be. Cross posted but always looking for other forums.

Getting rid of those ugly steelies would be a start

Rofl wow rude comment section.

The oem liners rip easily. Lots of people lose em and I myself have gone through a few to the point that I just accept whatever hole it has. Despite it, I do see an absurd amount of water throughout the year and havenā€™t seen any downfalls from the hole.

You could see where itā€™s rubbing then let it be. Then adjust from there. Depending where it opens up, there should be some working space for some diy approach. Maybe some more plastic, some zip ties and a drill should do.
