Fender flares post fender cutting?

I've read and seen a lot about trimming fenders for clearance when jumping to a larger tire sized without additional lift being added. But once that is done, what are the options for fender flares after that? Are there flares produced for Toyota's after the trimming or is it a custom fab thing?

Bushwacker Cut-Out Flares say.....

but in the instructions, they don't mention cutting any of the existing tire well nor the amount that can be cut.

We're trying to determine how much will need to be cut to fit presumably 35-36's on a 4" lift. We'd rather not add a body lift to the equation and keep it low but we might opt for a body lift to raise the drive train.

check out marcp (member), iirc he might have done something along those lines before he did his long travel kit.

The Pacer stuff is kinda cool. Too bad the "where to buy" link is broken. Makes me think twice. A broken webpage says bad things about you.

The most badass looking (to my aesthetic sense) truck is here . Flares on toytafiberglass aftermarket fenders.

He seems to be the only guy that makes fenders that anyone here says actually fit.


Sorry, this isn't exactly what you were asking, but I thought yo umight find it interesting.

It's a fairly new website I believe & I think most people buy them from JC Whitney.

I've looked at the fiberglass fenders a long time back, flares are just, well, cheaper, lol. Prices aren't too bad on Whitney.
