No, wheels do not have to be removed to install your splash guards.

Super easy but you might want to jack up the car for better access. Make sure the panels you are attaching the splash guards to are super clean, especially where you'll adhere the 3M tape.

i would recommend not screwing the bottom screw cus i did that and when i scraped it freaking thing almost tore the mud guard off in half and damaged my bumper lol. its was jus too secure. better to give it some moving space for when u scrape . but u should screw both screws on top tho

^ in the rear, i had to do some drilling since i didn't see any existing holes. In that case, you'll have to remove the wheel, not unless you have a close-quarter or an angle drill(oh and a stubby screwdriver). It's relatively easy since you'll be drilling into plastic.

Don't remove the backing of the adhesive strip of the splashguard when you test fit and when drilling that hole. If you happen to need more, 3M molding tape works pretty well also.
