I've read posts in here regarding the front wheel well bolt head at the inside rear of the wheel well. I'm wondering if anyone here has removed as much as it looks like I will have to remove in this photo.:(

I'll try to post some pics l8'tr...
That would be great! These tires are actually from my truck. 33x11.2 on a 16x8 wheel with a -.75 offset. They look really great from the back and side with just an inch or so sticking out. Also VX has front bars twisted to 2 1/2 lift, any higher and I am too close to my Energy stops.
Kate detailed it pretty well on pg 2 of this thread, also lotsa valuable advice in there...:smack:...:_wrench:...:yesgray:Quote:

Not sure what that protusion (squiggly diagonal lines) is, I dont have that on my fender liner? Also what is that piece of metal? maybe a temporary clamp?

Do these flush head fasteners have to be removed, because if so I dont know whats holding them. Maybe a speednut on the inside of the fender?

You may not need to cut the metal, just pound it back with a BFH to clear. Reattach plastic by drilling and use self tapping metal screws if old holes don't line up.
I cut the rear of the front fender clear back to the lower fender mounting bolt, cut the cladding to match and then blended the new radius into the wheel arch. trimmed the seam to where it doubles up and pounded it flat. 35's of 16x8" wheels just fit. Tires still rub the top of the fenders when a big bump is hit.
Do you have a lift?Quote:

I really want to use a 15" wheel but most of those are butt ugly or have the wrong offset.Quote:
