manufacturers put them there for a reason.i assume this is for alloys?
yup,alloys rubbing... :(
 
Where are you actually getting the rubbing? I have my HGT lowered and only suffer on the rear passenger side when loaded on ruff road. I still have inner arches fitted. The rub is caused bt the rear bumper not the actual arch.
