I used a skill saw to trim mine. I took off about 1 inch all the way around. The biggest problem you might have is the rear where your trimming somewhat limited based on where the body panel and wheel well come together.
I went to Autozone and got some of that plastic door trim and put in along the metal edge over all four fenders after I was finished. I am pretty sure they sell it at Walmart too. The trim gave it a nice, clean look when I was finished

This is one of the best articles I've seen for trimming an XJ

ok well i just cut the front and now it can turn nicely but i dont know how it will handle off road and putting the tires up in the wheel well. I will get some picture of it up i am woundering if there is any more areas that i can cut out to give the tire some more room
