| Post subject: | Fender Trimming |
I was looking into getting spacers for my tires but I have to bang out the pinch welds. Well instead of doing that could I just do some fender trimming? maybe make the KJ look nicer? What have you used to do the fender trimming and how much have you done? Pics? |

First off the pinch weld and fender are 2 different things. How much work you have to do with spacers on depends of the size of the tires. Terry |

Trimming fenders and pounding the pinch weld are 2 different things. Pinch weld is almost always a must with anything but stock tire size with stock BS, unless you went with a wheel with zero backspace, but then you would have other issues. The pinch weld is under the fender liner. You will have to cut the liner to get at it. Depending on your BS, and tire size, the pinch weld will typically rub before the fender liners do. So it is almost a "have-to". You may or may not have to do any fender trimming. Each case is different. Depends on your specific wheel/tire combo, ride height, suspension sag, and even how heavy you and your typical load are. |
