What do you think
I finished cutting my fenders today. The front are cut and rolled the back is just cut. I know I know when you just cut the rear you expose the seam and mud can get in there. I plan to use marine 5200 adhesive painted black in there because its flexible. Will I be ok running 33x12.5 MT's on 3.75" BS wheels like this for a month or so until I get my lift? I will resist the urge to take her offroad till then I promise 
. I have since the pics added door edge guard and it is at stock height.

I'm not sure, but seems like you might need to do something about the end caps on the front bumper.
I think you'll clear 33's as long as you treat it like a pavement princess until you lift it.

I'm curious as to why you didn't cut and roll both front and back? It seems that most do it exactly the opposite (cut and roll the rear and just cut the front).
Definitely got some nice cuts there. Very smooth and even. How kind of tool did you use to make the cuts?
I haven't done a fender trim yet so I don't know anything first hand, just what I've read. I'm just gathering some different schools of thought for whenever I go after the job.
Thanks to any and all who have advice to give. I've got a file folder just for fender trimming including photos and how to's.
Actually got file folders on lots of different jobs. It keeps me from having to do searches when the time comes for me to take one on.

those are some nice cuts!! i honostly wouldnt try to clear 33s!!!! maybe 31s.. but i wouldnt take a chance of messing up those pretty little cut fenders by sticking 33s under there and hitting a bump and boom.. there goes your fender and you gotta do all that work again... just my 02 cents
