how much clearance with flat flares?
I know to fit bigger tires with smaller lifts you need to trim. I am getting ready to install a 3" lift, and was wondering with bushwacker flat flares, can I fit 33"? I am going low cog, and don't want 31" if I can go larger.

I'm running 35s with a 4.5 inch lift and flat flairs, so 33s on a 3 inch lift maybe doable if you bump stop correctly, use 15 x 8 with 4" back spacing, and trim.

Look at the build bearbuild. He trimmed his fenders with a 3" and fit 33's. I have a 3" and have 31"s on it and i regret not getting 33s

Thanks everyone, I have installed my lift and put on my flat flares since I posted this last summer. I have 31s now, and am going with 33s shortly. I have a ton of room left with my 31s.
