In what sense?

I added wheel arch flares to mine, so I cut away about 6" or so all around the wheel arch is that what you mean?

yeah...i haven't put my new tires on yet, but i looks like they'll be short on room around the rear door area...but you can't cut the door....so what do i do about that

How big are these tires you're planning to put in??? i put 245/75 on my D1 and I only need to trim a little bit of the rear fender (the lower quarter panel section)

drewclare25 · 07-05-2006, 06:38 PM

32x11.50

i understand trimming everything except the door part

hmm..I wouldnt know about that size, maybe someone can chime in but all I gotta do for my 30.5s is trim that little corver off the fender.

You should not have to trim the door for 32's. If it is a D1 you should only have to trim the lower part of the rear wheel arch. If it is a D2, you should not have to trim anything.

that sounds good. I was hoping that i wouldn't have to do anything complicated with the door

not done but you get the idea

this D1 to fit 35x12.50's had to cut about 4" off. it broke the seal on the rear doors and would let water come in between the panels. so he fiberglassed it, when i go wheeling with him this weekend ill take some photos of it.

on my classic i only had to trim the front and rear of the front fender about 1" at the bottoms to fit 33" A/T's.
