Default Trimming pinch seam for 37s...questions

I need to trim the pinch seam on the rear wheel wells so that I can fit 37's.....does anyone have any pics of this? or at least a detailed description?

Getting the fenderwells Line-X'd and need to do this first.

Yea, i trimmed mine for 37s. Its not rocket science, just figure out how much you wanna take off, use tape to mark the line, cut it off with a cutting wheel or saws all, then file it smooth. After this, i filled the crack between the 2 pieces of metal with silicone, then painted it.
