fender cutout

hi everybody !

does anybody know how much i would have to cut away to run bfg 35x12.50 tiers with only a two inch lift??
i was at a friends house the other day and he has a set laying around . i wanted to see what they looked like on my suburban so i jacked it up from the axle and put it in place ( i have 6 bolt hubs and the rims were 8 hole )( i have a rough country 2" lift on ) they looked real mean! i realy want to run a set but dont know how much to hack off and will i have to run a set of spacers for frame clearance?
thanks for any help! lief@baysat.net brian770

My roommates old K5 with no lift ran 35"s, he hacked the fenders about 4 or 5 inches, out past the innner wheel wells and still rub on occasion. My old truck was a 92 GMC K1500 with a 6" trail master lift and 35x12.5x15 on 15x10 rims. I hacked my fenders 3 inches and took 3 inches off the bumper to even make it out of my driveway in the city. You could probaly hack the fenders a real large amount and fit them, but you would still be rubbing. And if you aren't rubbing you aren't wheeling hard enough. Also keep in mind I drove my truck hard, but the 35s helped to destroy just about everything that sissy IFS had to offer. Just my 2 cents...
