Shouldn't the wheel wells been hollowed out to allow for suspension travel? I'd hate to hit a pothole and ruin the whole widebody by having the wheel slam into the wheelwell. Unless you are planning on running at 4x4 height

So how large is the lip of the new rear fender? Basically my question is does the new fenderflares attach to the edge of the original quarter panel, or was the original quarter panel cut to allow for clearance for the wider wheels. See my pic for a better explanation

the fender flares fit over the stock fenders but obviously can be molded.
the fenders did not have to be cut at all...

I promise, it's just paper...so the suspension doesn't get sprayed!

I don't think you understand what he is referencing... That part he is talking about is clearly fiberglass. And if you have a wheel coming to edge of the fender it is going to smash into the fiberglass under compression of the suspension unless it is trimmed.

Yes, I think you understand what I'm talking about, I highlighted it in yellow in this pic. Are you saying the highlighted part is just paper?

So to clarify one more time, its not hollowed out, so there is like a 3" lip on the inside of the quarter panel that extends to the stock quarter panel? If thats the case then I think you are going to have some issues if its daily driven.

Also, if its masked the way you are stating, then you are going to have paint issues, if your paint stops right at the edge of the outer panel, its going to peel
