need to trim? Now with pictures

After being lifted for nearly a year, i finally got the money for tires. i ordered 285/75/16 MT/Rs from tire rack yesterday, and they arrived today going to get them mounted tomorrow on my stock rims

i have SAW coil overs (set at about 2.25"), ATS a-arms (inland trucks) and OME 890 in the rear. on a 97 limited, with stock bumper, no running boards. I know about some rub at the rear pinch weld, and was wondering if i would rub the front part of the flare (on the bumper). How significant is the rub at the pinch weld, could is it just a nuisance or is it a big deal? thanks for the heads up.

I'd say if you pound flat the pinch weld and perhaps trim some of the fender well that sticks out you won't have any problems. I just took my flares off period so I wouldn't have to worry about ripping them off later.
