Not sure Dub but I think VB was referring to the BFH work necessary on the rear edge of the front wheel-wells, that process always makes me cringe...beat until cleared! OUCH!!

Vinny,
There are pix scattered throughout my gallery of the the trimming on the rear of the front fender wells. IIRC both Dub & KAT have some pix in theirs as well.
I'm running 33x12.50's but with the offset on my rims, I have more of a rubbing issue than most. I'm now in the process of filling in the gaps between fender & cladding (left from the trimming process) with black RTV. It's really not that noticable so 'go for it'.
One other thing that I did was to remove all hex head bolts in the fender well and replace with pan head. It may not help a whole lot (mebbe 1/4") but at least if the tire hits, the sharp edges of the hex head won't be chewing up & spitting out tire.
One other thing to check for is any of the fender skirt protruding into the fender well. Several of my plastic retainers have failed over the years (& 2 accidents). Just last weekend, I found a section of skirt sticking into the wheel well about 3/4". The good news is that the skirt is fairly thin plastic so you can just trim to your heart's content with a pocket knife.
