Default Fender Trimming

Have a 1999 XJ Cherokee that I have lifted 6.5 inches and I have a set of 36" Super Swampers from a previous project that I would like to put on it instead of buying new ones does anybody have any idea of how much fender trimming this would require?

That's my problem I need to know because if there is a lot of trimming to do I don't want to buy rims to accommodate the tires?

Will it help or is it necessary to use wheel spacers?

An ideal setup would be using the correct offset wheels without spacers.

Do some research on offset and then buy the wheels with the correct offset.
