^^ Do that, it's the best and easiest way to get rid of the holes. If I had my other computer with me I'd post pics of mine too, but I don't.

What black trim? You mean the rubber that some people put on the edge of their fenders after trimming?


Yeah that's a cut & fold.

I've seen people do it, but I haven't. You probably have to glue it in place, but I'm not sure.

It would cut them up if you didn't smooth out the edge after cutting. It might still even cut the tire though. I have 4.5" and 33s and My tires don't touch the fenders at all, of course I trimmed a bit. It all really depends on how much you want to trim.
