Default flare question need to know asap

while ive still got time before work...i was just outside checking out the strenght of my fenders and what not and found my pair of sheet metal clippers and clipped a small section of the fender just to see if it could even be a possibility that they would work good...well they did so now im anxious to just run out there now and hack the crap out of my fenders so i can stuff in my 31's real nice...anyone know if this is a good idea or not?? ill be doing the cut and fold and putting molding on over the fold..

Hell yeah it's a good idea. I did mine and I love it. You don't need to cut and fold the front though, but I am assuming you are talking about the rear.

well yea i was just going to cut and fold the front too because i figured i would screw something up when cutting on a line with the big metal scissors lol...i think it would look more like a 5 year old did it.

I think cutting and folding the front would be hard because the front fender is pretty flimsy you could just use an angle grinder.

Yeah why not? How the hell you think they make the wheel opening on a stock car? Cut what's needed, make some relief cuts, then fold the lip over for strength. Repeat as needed.
