Do you have details on your fender cut and flare install? I have the same tires and need to cut mine due to rubbing on the trail.

It was not as difficult as I thought it would be to be honest. A second person to help is crucial though. They hold the flare in place, and you trace the inside of the line. Once you've got the line you cut a few cm above that, and keep cutting until it sits where you want. Lots of forgiveness in the cut, and everything is hidden so it does not have to be perfect. Then just finish off the edges with some paint to stop the rust!

Awesome dude, fitting my arches soon theyve been sat in my garage for 2 months now! Just too busy, arches and spacers ready to go on. I'm running 235/85/16, but seeing your tyre size fitted makes me think when I replace them I'll make the change for wider..

I just did the camel cut to 255/85/16 on 3" lift with a terrafirma long travel lift kit. I'd like to go to 35" or possibly 37" next time and a 1" spacer and do a full trim on the arch. I've looked at the arches and been trying to decide on the 50mm or 75mm flares.

Sweet job on the arches, looks good!

Thanks again for the comments guys. Here are some pictures from a recent trip to do some snow wheeling, what a blast!
