Replace door lining or not...

1930s renovation, will be replacing all internal doors.

Currently back to bare orignal stud wall, door opening is 750mm wide and 1980mm from lining to floorboards.

The gap in the stud wall would allow a bigger lining to be fitted, but the width of the stud wall timber is 80mm, plus drywall and plaster.

Is it worth replacing the linings while I'm at this point to give a better selection of internal doors, or is it easy enough to change all the doors with this smaller size?

Linings seem to be in good enough condition, but some of the door stops are twisted nor perfectly vertical.

Thanks

Depends on sizes. Plus consider the thickness with new plaster.
Might be easier just to change door linings as you go.
I got my linings cut to width as I went along plus I did make a few myself as easy enough. At the time it was £20 a door
