Default cutting rear fenders.

Guys I'm planning on cutting my fenders this week. I would like to know if anyone has done this by themselves. And how you did it. I heard I can't cut too much cause I can mess my rear fenders. How much can I cut? Thanks for the help.

What're trying to do with your fenders?

^ he's trying to "shave" his fenders.

it's do-able, but you lose structural rigitdity. shave too much, and you weaken the fender sheetmetal at the wheel arch. shave too little, and you don't get enough clearance.

as an alternative, look into getting your fenders rolled.
