Based on that photo, I assume you aren't going offroad in it. There is no way those tires can fit in the wheel wells,and we have like two feet of total wheel travel in the rear. No where for that tire to go.
Jo-I was referring to the tops of the arches, I too have removed all that bracketing and plastic in the rear of the front arches. I still rub sometimes on the trails, but not enough to matter, just rubber on metal![]()
