Default fender chop with no lift?

Hey guys!

So I'm thinking of chopping my factory fender flares. I'm currently not lifted, Im running slightly larger tires (nitro terras 265-75-16, pretty much 32's)

My question is, will this look stupid since I'm not lifted or have large tires?

Maybe someone has a pic of something similar if it looks OK.

It would probably look fine if you cut them properly, or at least to your liking. Some people like it some don't. Your jeep your call. That said if your not having clearance issues or planning on getting bigger tires I wouldn't bother. Its a lot of work and you don't know how it will look till your done. Which is nerve racking i know. It took me and flexer07 about 5 hours to do his. It turned out good though.

Here are some with the stock bumper! It looks better when you have a stubby up front, you can cut your stock bumper too
