So just mounted up some 215/75r15 I read they would fit on a loyale with not much trimming and a 2" lift but I'm getting rubbing at the rear of the from wheel well when turning. The outside fender itself is all gone now but its still clipping on the plastic which is backed up by some pretty integral looking metal.

 

Don't mind trimming just wondering how much of that area I can trim away before I cut something important.

You can remove the plastic, hammer that seam over flat and gain a fair amount of room.

Damn wish I knew that earlier. Had some time to throw it all together before work but now it will have to wait until tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the tips hopefully its enough.

Just remember your loosing that protection against water, mud, salt intrusion etc. But that is the tradeoff for modding your rig for bigger tires. You can spray everything with a good layer of undercoating, only trim the plastic liner down as far as you need and such, but if you want those tires with that amount of lift you have to make some trade offs. You can make allot of room if you want, here is a pic of my big Brat and what was left of the fenders:

 

anybody have pics of cut rear fenders?

Wow lots of cutting! I did a bunch today need to hammer in the wheel wells a bunch. This thing is really rusty to begin with so I'm not expecting it to last long.

 

I would also like to see a similar shot of the rear if you've got one. Probably have to pick up some fender flares to make it look nice.

What size flares do you have?
