Pinch seam and 35's
I took my jeep out today and stuffed the rear tire in the wheel well to see how close the tire would come to hitting the pinch seam. here are the results:
From a distance
The Close up
I think I am good to go but I would not want any bigger tires without doing some trimming.

looks like you still have some room but not much can I ask someone to post a pic of there pinch seam trimmed/cut so some of us can see how much to cut and finish it out
Don't mean to hijack but I would like to see how its done.

In addition to cutting the pinch seam, I also cut back the rubi rails approx 2"
There are threads on this, some cut their pinch seam, others bend it back
