??Cutting the front wheel cups

Can someone who has cut their front wheel cups post some pics of what they did to finish the underside and what if any modification is required to the inner fenders? Considering this for my truck. Thanks.

What part of the wheel is a cup? Not sure what you are asking.

Tim, I think he is asking about the front cup on the fender.

Re: ??Cutting the front wheel cups

Oh,fender cups...nothing to do with wheels. Ok. I just cut mine and went with it. I always thought finishing them off would be nice but never had the money for custom body work...and knew no one capable at the time. This truck was rough anyway. I've never considered cutting anything on a nice truck. I did another one the same way

Here's another one. Actually,I did a few. I only wanted 4" lift and ran 14.50/37 tires. This was back when the trucks were just for work. (I just realized,I showed the same truck)

Try this:

No cutting of the inner fender is needed from what I understand...
