Default 2012 Stock tires with cut bumpers or fenders...anyone have them?

Alright, my 2012 has under 1000 miles on it and im itchy to mod it up. I have already upgraded my wheels, but need to make sure I dont agro the wife with tires right now. I have the bumper caps, but wanted to see if anyone had pics of stock tires with the chopped bumper mod? Also fenders?

My new wheels do have 4.5" of backspacing so they do stick out a bit more than stock. So I guess im looking for opinions of should I wait for the wider tire, or do it now and it will look good kinda thing...btw, if some dont know stock tires are 32x10 on the 2012 sport S.

I tried searching for pics, but either none are available or im searching for the wrong terms.

Any help would be appreciated...

When you get to the rear bumper, if you can call it that, replace it. The entire bumper on the 2012 might weigh 5 pounds. It is a total POS.

I don't have pictures but I did have a stubby bumper with stock tires and it looked bad and everyone who saw out agreed. I had to make custom ends to make it look better.
