I would trace the outline of the flare and cut away. Some cut just above the mounting holes to leave a flared lip. It's really your preference. I have 33's with 5" lift and I haven't cut my fenders yet. I like how it looks when you cut at the outline of the flare so that's my plan. Check out pics and see what you like.

I cut my fenders to fit 33s, and I'm on a 4'' lift. For the front, I removed the flare and cut along the straight lip. For the back, I just did that cut and fold method. Looks great and was very easy.
