yess if you dont want rubbing... you can always cut and relocate if you want the flares, i took mine off and their staying off till theres a reason to put on cuz i love the look without it imo

If your just going to jump a curb you wont need to trim. If your going to off road it yes you will need to cut the front and cut and fold the back. I cut mine up to the washer fluid reservoir and have no problems rubbing with 33s.

I'm not sure the laws in Vancouver, but you should make sure that flares aren't required for inspection. Over on the east side here in PA, we need to have flares that cover the tire to pass.

If you were to consider aftermarket flares, I suggest you don't cut any until you decide on the flares you would want.
