Fender Trimming

I'm planning on trimming my fenders about 2 inches and was wondering if anyone had any info on how to get all the measurements correctly. I just got Super Swamper TSL/SX's 29X10.5 on 15in wheels and they are hitting the back corners of the front fenders.

Thanks for the help.

When I did mine, I followed the bend line for about a 1" cut. I then used a cresent wrench and bent in the cut edge for another 1" that makes it look pretty good. Does that make sense?

yeah, it makes sense. I was thinking of taping a 1 in line following the body line, cutting that out. Then I would put 1 in slots in the remaining part so that bending the metal up would be alittle easy and hopefully keep the original lines.

I just went all out and cut all the way up to the last crease in the fenders front and rear and now I have a nice set of 33-12.50-15 Mudders set in place on a stock B2. Only rubs under full compression. I bought a set of make-your-own fender flares from auto barn and they havent come yet but they seem to be nice.
