    I am running 36x13.5x15 iroks on 15x8 wheels with 2" BS on the front wheels, my problem is the fenders where and how much have you guys trimmed off your front fenders to accept these tires? I have about 7.5" lift and I have trimmed about 3" off my fenders I am still rubbing on the inner fenders. My question is whats the easiest way to gain more clearance? just trim with 3" cut off wheel and bash with a sledge? Pics would help also

    Thanks ANDREW

    Cut the WHOLE thing out. If you think it can come off without involving chopping into the underhood area, chop it off. I used a 4.5" angle grinder to get rid of all mine. Everything that can possibly come out needs to be gone. I thought I'd told you that you'd need to do this.

    you can';t get rid of everything, lots of underhood stuff attaches to the inner fender. it also adds tones of front end stability. DO a search on fender chopping i posted a ton of pics.
