O yea, I figured I'd do a few cardboard templates too just to make sure everything looked ok before I made parts. I'm a pretty terrible welder so I might try to make it bolt together. That way I could change out pieces depending on the look I want and help with alignment. It's all up in the air right now lol

I'm pretty sure I could get one of my techs to help me if I needed to. I'll have to see what my design looks like then go from there.

Do you have any photos of the trimming you did to fit the wheels?

I trimmed the front like yours and have zero rubbing going forward...

I didn't trim the rear of the wheel well yet but I am getting some bad rubbing in reverse.

And I still can't figure out what I'm looking at in the last pic that's zip tied lol

In the second picture I just trimmed the flare about 3 inches. The zip ties are holding the inner fender well back behind the tire. That's what was making my noise in reverse. You can cut it or just pull it back. I found it by backing out of my driveway until I heard it then got out and looked at what was touching. I was literally blocking half the street but this was more important. Haha

Haha Nice! Yeah I'm going to try that tonight, that's already driving me nuts and I've only driven around the block lol

Hey do you remember what you set your revs per mile at on your tuner to adjust the Speedo?

I think I've set it to 605 on other tunes. The tune I'm running was programmed for 35" tires so I didn't have to change that.
