Those low without inner fenders ?

[Tom]

Hey guys. My 98 is dropped 5" in front. With my old 255/45/17's I had no issues, but I recently tried some 245/50/17's instead. I like how they look more, but now on big bumps I get some tire rubbing on the inner fender. For those who drive alot without inner fenders, does this make the engine bay get alot more dirty or is it not that bad? Is there a way to move up the stock inners or would I have to pay someone to fabricate a new set with more clearance?

It makes a mess of the underhood area. There's a lot of little puddles and dust on the road that you tend to not realize until your tires are flinging it all over your engine. You'll also have racing stripes on the bottom of your hood. Not to mention rock dings from thrown up pebbles.
