Default widebody panels and inner fender lining

Hi guys,

I was wondering whether the wide rear fenders still use the plastic inner fender linings or if those get removed since the fenders runs wider?

My passenger side inner lining cracked when the tire hit a hard bump (compressed with very tall tire). I never replaced it since, been thinking of ordering some used passenger side fender liner, but I also need the passenger side fender (previous owner cracked it running wheels that were too wide).

I don't want to spend money on fender and inner liner since down the line I intend to get wide body fenders, but I just wanted to know.

With that in mind, the lining did reduce tire noise, as now there is far more noise from the tire on that side.

You add an extension to the factory inner fender to fill the gap.

If you are talking about the front fender well cover, you definitely need it as sever items are attached to it including electrical connections, battery fuse box, headlights, fender etc.
