Tire Question

I know this has probably been covered before but I don't have time to search and hunt for it so here goes. I have a 79 bronco and a 73 F-150 that I want to put 37 inch hummer tires on. I don't want to lift them all I want to do is cut the fenders out. The vehicles are only off road so looks doesn't matter. Has anyone tried this and if so how much did you have to trim and did it work?

Put them on and start cutting until they clear, or if they wont go on, cut til they go on, then cut till they clear at full lock and up travel. Not to be short but thats a way to do it. Someone else may know an exact amount but I dont think everyone cuts their fenders exactly the same way.

I would think at least 2" would need to be cut, but like newcomer said just put them on and figure what would be best for you.
