Trimming REAR REAR pinch seam??
Have searched, but hindered by regular pinch seam trimming.
Anyway, I have a 2012 JKU, 4" X-Flex RC with 37" nitto muds, and I rub all over the place. Just yesterday, my rear passenger flare was kindly removed by the lugs on these things. I've trimmed the 'front' rear pinch seam (towards the front of the vehicle). My question is, has anyone trimmed the rearmost pinch seam in the rear fender well? Even with no flare, my tire is picking up some custom siping from the rearmost pinch seam.
Did I set my arms too long? Tire looks centered while at ride height, but putting my physics cap on, as the tire gets tucked, it will naturally be moved to the rear of the vehicle. Will pushing forward all the arms 1/2" fix me up? or should I trim?
I am NOT running extended bumpstops, but the RC instructions say they are not required. (Although that is off of a 35" tire recommendation).
Thanks for your help! Love this forum.

That's the pinch seam at the "front" of the fender well. I've already trimmed that. I'm talking about the seam on the other side of the tire, towards the REAR of the vehicle.
