I'm going to put bigger tires on my 88 xj how much can i trim the finders without ruining my chances of puting on aftermarket flares later? Any help would be great..

in the front you can trim up to the original fender line about 1.5 to 2 inches all they way around in the rear i would look at the bushwhacker site it is pretty specific about where to trim

Well, first I'd start with learning to spell...LOL

It's fender and trimming...

Sawzall with a fine tooth blade works well and a grinder to clean it up.

You can trim to the 45 degree angle and youll still fit the old flares with trimming or a little bit more and run BWs.
