oh ok.....you wouldn't need them to tuck then. Unless you go lower than a 2/4. A 2/4, just don't go any higher than a 29" tall tire and you'll be fine. Otherwise, roll your fender lips. He is supposed to be getting some pics to me by the way.

If you are a DIY, then cut the lip into 3" sections(making sure you having about an 1/8" before you hit the fender lip and take a hammer and knock them back)......be careful so that you don't dent your fender. Also, after your done, paint the raw metal with something so that it doesn't rust.

dependent on the backspacing but with about 5" backspacing, you'll have about 1 or so" sticking out.

Finally got your pic. You can see where its rubbing on the leaf springs. That's with a 315/35 tire.
