get 30s. 31s will rub and require trimming to fit stock. 30s won't require trimming but may rub some

Thats not the fender they're rubbing thats the LCA. You don't have to do any fender trimming to run 30s stock. If you stuff them into the wheel well I'm pretty sure that 30s will mess up your fenders

You have a jigsaw? that with a $3 metal cutting blade will do the trick. I'd recommend leaving everything alone, not trimming and getting 30s
