Re: Smaller tires of cut fenders ?
if your not afraid of cutting sheet metal, & don't want to go higher, but keep those big tires, ever consider cut out flares? imo they look better then the unsmooth body lines w/cut fenders, no matter how well their done, they make your truck look beefy, & it's like putting a 3" lift on it

Cut them! All you need to do is cut a 4" radius at the bottom of the fender. No biggie, its only metal.

Re: Smaller tires of cut fenders ?
You don't need to cut the outside of the fender, stretch it, or add flares. All you need is a piece cleanly cut inside

Re: Smaller tires of cut fenders ?
just seen your whole truck in another thread, it would look awesome with cut-out flares, they'ed look good with those wider, beefier tires. you should get someone (not me, computer noob) to photoshop some flares, or with cut fenders, see what you like best. you REALLY don't want to put smaller tires on it do ya?
