Trimming tomorrow morning
Alright, so i FINALLY got my wheels mounted and balanced, got home from work tonight and put them on, turns out, they're too big! (haha). im running a RE 3.5" superride and i just put some 32s on, they rub on the fender flares towards the bottom when turning. i think the country fender flares are a little bigger than other ones tho, but, i have class at 8:30 tomorrow morning and am gonna be doing some trimming before class. Any advice? should i be concerned about rubbing anywhere else? Yes i know i should get coil spacers and a shackle kit, that'll be next paycheck tho.

It wasn't much. Eventually I'll do something with my flares but I like how they are for now, once I get coils it won't be as much of an issue.

Just take off the bumper end caps for now on the front. You can cut them and remount them later.
On the rear u can take a sharp box cutter knife and trim the inside a bit and that should make some room. Same for the back of the front flares. I did this when I had flares, smaller suspension, and too big a tires lol
