If you're not rubbing bad I would just leave the flares on. When you cut and fold the fenders it def makes you want bigger tires.

why cut the rears exactly? I've got lots of travel, I can stuff my 33's into the fenderwell and not have issues, cutting the front I can completely understand, but not so much the rear
edit: stuffed tires, my bad, never made the connection lol

Yea its easy to do. Take the flare off, leave the mount on. Drill three holes 3/4" higher on each mount piece. Cut one to 1 1/4 off the fender right through the mount. Mount the flare back on with new bolts and locknuts where you drilled the holes.
Then just trim what you want if any off the flare.

[QUOTE=Tim W;1928451]why cut the rears exactly?
because stock sucks...lol
For me its a more sinister look and i hate flares of any kind. Esp. with offset wheels. in these pics the rears weren't trimmed yet, but you get the idea.
ive seen guys put the bushwaker flares with offset wheels. then they look like the wheels are tucked back under the jeep, like stock. WHY?
its take it off only to put it back on. Now trimming will make it harder to keep her clean and such....but like i said,it just looks way better imo.
