I have a 6" lift with 33's. I have wheeled some with no interferance problems. I need to paint the fenders and I don't want to have to repair rubbing damage later on. Like I say my tires have never contacted the sheetmetal. I'm thinking I should trim an inch or so off the rear of the front wheel well, what do you think? It would be cool not having to trim anything unless I really have too. I did trim a little off the front bumper. Thanks

The only areas I had any rubbing issues on mine was on the rear of the fender openings. In the pics it looks like the tire would be more likely to hit the rear on your as well, since you've already trimmed the front. I might trim a little of the rears, but kind of feather it into the curve of the fender.

Yo,
Your fenders look large enough to handle the tires, the only thing i can think of is maybe at full stuff and full lock to either side. without looking at a flex pic, its tough to see how far up those duff coils will let you go.

Is your axles moved forward from stock at all? If you could move your axle forward a hair, that might give you more room as well as a better approcah angle.
