Default tire size with chopped fenders or bushwacker flat fenders

how much larger of a tire can you run if you chop the factory fenders or install the bushwacker flat fenders? If I was running 35's with no problem could I jump up to 37's or are there more clearence issues besides the fenders? Thanks for the info!

depending on how much lift you have now, yes, probably a 37 but, you will still need to do some trimming to the pinch seam.

I had my 35's on my jeep before I put the lift on. I chopped the front fenders to make it work. I didn't chop the rear until about 3 weeks ago...worked out great. I didn't go off road with it though cuz I only had it like that for about a week before I put my lift on. I have pics in my album under "the project" if you want to see what it looked like.
