Default Fender Cut

I know tgere are plenty of forums about cutting the fenders and where to cut them. I'm cool with that. Here is my question. On the front fenders behind the tire there doesn't appear to be much that I can cut. It's not just hollow fender. This is on my 99 GC. Could someone give me some info on this please. Thanks a bunch.

ok this might get a little complicated so read carefully............
1. take off tire
2. grab sledge hammmer
3. beat the hell out of the inner fenderwell till its far enough back
4. put tire back on

that should pretty much cover it

hammer time! Whatever you do, don't cut the pinch seam if there is one. Hammer it over flat. What size tires are you trying to clear? Are your rims offet?

i think i know what ur saying- down by the bottom of fender/wheel well the pich weld is right there. minimal trimming is neeeded on the sides of fenders. its more about the top cause unless your caster is way off, you shouldnt have too much issue rubbing on the front and rear of fenders. idk, google it, do some searching on here, youll find it!
