hey so i pulled off my old frender flares and was going to trim the wheel wells so i can have a little more room for my 31s however, my dad is concerned about splash up when i dont have fender guards, is this something i should be concerned about or is he just over reacting, thanks for your input

So the tires will sit out about 1.75 if I trim the fenders, here is a photos hope this can help you see what I am talking about.

as far as splash up, unless you are trying to get it covered in mud and whatnot it'll stay rather clean. my 31's dont splash too much up on the sides, but what id be more concerned with is the splash gaurds in the wheel wells themselves, the driver side splash guards prevent water from splashing up into and around the air box.

also check with your state's law about fender flares. if i remember right, colorado is pretty stiff on them.

I guess it would be more up to the state laws where you live. Because some water coming up from the tires while it rains doesnt bother me at all.
