305"s and fender flares

[97 _SR5]

I finally got a chance to put my 305"s on. For those of you have 305/70/16 tires and fender flares, how much of the flares did you have to trim? I had to trim the rear of fender liner and hammer the body seam back to keep from rubbing. I don't want to spend $400 on a set of flares that I will just have to chop up completely. Thanks

Got any pics? Im going Sat to have my 305's installed. I already did some modding just to get the 285's to fit. Not to many here running this tire.

That back spacing would not work at all on my rig. I would be stuffing those into the fender all day. Im trying to keep them inside the wheel well. How does it do when at full flex?

the tires/wheels i put on last night. I don't do a lot of intense trails with rocks, mostly a lot mud and shallow rivers in back country, unpaved roads, deep snow, etc. but I will find out this weekend, when we go fishing. These will never stuff inside fenders, but offer a wider stance I wanted.

Thats good because it thats true you might not need to do much. Also the all terrains help a lot with not rubbing compaired to muds. I will let you know what I have to do. Im guessing I wont have to remove much of my fender flares. I have the limited flares. I will let you know. Here are the beasts im mounting sat.
