So when i hit bumps, my fenders in the back would rub a bit. Nothing major but enough to make me worried that if I hit one hard enough it'd splice into my tires. So I grabbed the ol handy flex and trimmed the fender lip down to a 1/2 inch. Also trimmed the spashguard back a bit as there was some rubbing marks on that. here's some pics. i'm going to primer the edges to keep it from rusting and then hit it with a bit of paint. looks pretty clean now but should look super clean when done.

better option than rolling the fenders. rolling just looks wavy and sloppy on any fender i've seen. plus the paint cracks if you're not careful so trimming seemed like the natrual option.

bc i run 20mm spacers that push the wheel out flush with the body and when i hit hard bumps the tire hits the fender lip, which potentially could slice into the tire etc.
