Default Have to trim something....

Ok, anybody with a 6" lift and 325/65's have to trim the stock fender flare on your truck. I got my new wheels and tires on a couple weeks ago and really didnt do much backing up, but when I did and turned, my tires damn near pull my flare off.......can anyone tell me the best way to trim the flares so they don't look stupid....I have already trimmed the front valance and it looks like I never trimmed it, so I would like that on my flares as well.

I don't have a picture of my dads. We both have 6" lifts and run 37x13.5's and had to trim the front lower part of the factory fender flare. I cut mine straight across as you can see in my pics...and had to cut part of the lower fender also. But my dad trimmed just the inner part part of his so from the side it looks like it hasn't been trimmed. Here's a pic of mine, if I were to do it again I would do it like my dad did tho, looks a lot cleaner.. just no pic
And I also had to trim the font valance
It looks like the tire is about to rub in this pic but its not, I'll show you a side view of it. I've played around in the snow, no heavy off roading or anything but have never had it rub since it was trimmed
