Wheel well trimming

[NYCMIKE]

Anyone have any rubbing issues after installing a leveling kit and installing bigger wheels/tires. Have some slight rubbing looking for the best/easiest way to trim it.

Yes, I recently did some trimming(NorCal tuck similar). Watched several videos first. Should have taken some pics during but forgot. Not that difficult.

You can also pull the inner fender liner back without trimming. Drill 2 small holes and put a black zip tie through and around the support behind it. I did this in 3-4 spots and didn’t need to trim. Get 12” ties

I actually tried that but the metal was actually in the way with my 11.7”x33.5” tires at 0 offset. Guess it depends on how big of a tire wanting to cram in. I pulled the liner back, made a few diagonal relief cuts on bottom metal and beat/bent/tucked it back with hammer. Repainted the cut edges. Maintained the liner scew positions on metal to utilize in pulling the liner back.

Sounds like a job well done. If you can keep as many screw points as possible and keep as much junk from flying into your engine compartment you’re doing well
