I just swapped my fender flares for some Rubicon take-offs and am now looking for some inner finder liners to fit. I'd planned to get some OEM Rubicon inners, but the take-offs didn't come with them, and it seems like replacements are seriously backordered. I've been reading about how they are often sucked into the wheel well with bigger tires and cause problems anyway. So my question is, are there any inners out there that don't require drilling? I just can't bring myself to drill holes in my truck. If there's a solution that is truly bolt on, that's the direction I'd prefer. I've already purchased one set that were supposed to be a direct replacement that don't fit. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Just a comment about the factory liners with large tires. I am running 37's and have been for 24k miles - never an issue with factory inner liners.

Maybe folks with weird offset wheels allow the tire to rub and then catch the edge of the inner liner?

Could be. I'm not sure what the cause is, but the JT these fender flares came from chewed up one of the OEM inners, so I don't have them. I figured, better safe than sorry when buying replacements, but if I can't find a set that doesn't require drilling, I'll go with the OEM Rubicon replacement inners.

If you're interested in a set of the plastic style liners, I'm running a set of Paramount liners in the front on my truck, and Rugged Ridge in the back. Although I don't recommend the Paramounts for the rear liners, I had bought a set and they don't fit correctly, fronts are just fine.

You'll gain clearance, and they're the lightest way to go.

Where did you find the front Paramounts? Looks like they are discontinued.

I bought mine from the Paramount site about a year ago. Guess they've gone out of production since then.

Bummer.
