Does anybody have any pics of how they trimmed their wheel wells for new tires and wheels. im running a 265/75/17 on a KMC XD 17x9 and i get rubbing when i turn so it needs to be trimmed. Any help is appreciated on how and what to do and take away.

You're probably experiencing rubbing at the corners of the front bumper only. Trim a small portion (triangular spot) on the bottom and call it a day. You can round the corners. Should have minimal visible impact on the trim job.

take a tire off and give it a good look over to see for sure where it's actually rubbing and that'll tell you where to trim. bare metal from rubber contact or "polished" plastic are sure signs. you can take a little off at a time till you don't hear it anymore

Here's a site I came across with a ton of great information and detailed pictures to show you how.
I really like the fact that he's taken the time to not only tell you about stuff but show you how to do.

Scroll to the bottom for pix of trimming locations.
