Has anyone fit 33s on a 4.5" lift using this trimming method?

As long as your rig has flares and you're not running a 12" wide wheel, or reverse offset (lol), the cops probably won't even bother you.

Never know. Most US cops will not bother you but Montreal police might be more strict. I have not had the pleasure of meeting one of them so I wouldnt know myself. Have to take the op by his word that any exposed tread will get him a ticket

Well if the police are not that strict then I would do whatever you want and just behave and not give them a reason to write you up for it. If you get hassled too much just put some Bushwacker Flat flares, they look good IMO
