it would help your rubbing. BUTTTTT. I would leave them in because:

Wont be able to use CAI because water will splash errwhurr.

Your doorjambs will be filled with CRAP that your car throws up into the wheel wells. The fender liners keep all that stuff under the fenders.

It looks dumb. You see a bunch of exposed stuff

I never had a problem



What rim/tire size are you on?

bad idea. The car was designed to run them for a reason. cooling, rock dings and to hide stuff.

I took mine off and regret ever doing so. I put a aem v2 on and had to take it off withiin days because the filter was so filthy, wasn't worth cleaning every other day, not to mention the chances for hydrolock.

I ended up just raising my car a bit and am looking for new fender liners lol

You'll never find that size(195/45/15). The size you're probably looking for to go smaller would be a 195-50-15. I was rolling on 205-50-15 on that EK that is pictured above. They were (obviously) stock CTR wheels....so same size and width as your GSR wheels. Maybe integras have smaller wheel wells or something. BTW your stock size on a DC would be 195-55-15. The 205/50/15 is actually smaller than the 195/55/15 in diameter. The width is 10mm wider. So going down to a 195/50/15 would look kinda....you know....homo-erotic.

i think it's a great idea! but... only take off your passenger one. and then sell it to me but only if it's in good condition
