Front wheel wells pictures.

I have 2 questions. First is what do you have to cut out on the actually fender for you wheels to clear. Second is I read that some guys use trailer fenders for wheel wells, any pictures so I can get a visual and steps of install if possible? Thanks guys!

Re: Front wheel wells pictures.

It depends on how low you are going, what height tire you will run, and the backspace on your wheel.

In most cases you will have to remove the fender liner, and cut out the area above the tire in the inner fender. Your limiting factor is your a/c if you plan to run one.

Re: Front wheel wells pictures.

Well as of now I am running my rallies, I will eventually run 22's but don't know what back spacing......I really don't know to much about that. But yeah I am running my rallies and have my front wheel wells removed but part of the inner fender is sitting on the tires when aired out. Is this what you mean by fender liner?? Thank you for your help I knew if anyone I could count on you!

Re: Front wheel wells pictures.

You will have to cut that portion of the fender.

You should be able to find some helpful pics in my thread
