Trim the pinch seam in the rear. You may need to adjust your bumpstops, but you can test that out after the fact.

Also, if you have Rubi Rock Rails you might have to trim those as well. I had to trim mine.

So like down near the back portion of my running boards? That's the only triangle like portion that I think could be dangerous for the tire
