I'd guess about 4" on top and at least that much front & back.

ALOT
I would cut up to the bottom of the body line. Use your factory openings as a guide so you can get the shape right and it'll look pretty good. Use a marker to draw them first, don't try to free hand them. Also, try not to trim too much as it will look rediculious if you should ever decide to put on smaller tires. If you do it right it will look good w/ anything from a 35-38" tire on it. If you cut too much your stuck w/ 38's (which isn't all that bad if you always have the money to buy 38's)

well the cash sint the huge issue as it will see next to nothing for road miles, it will be a mud racer. Thanks for the imput guys when im redy for the cutting to begin im basicly going to add about 5-8" to the stock wheel openings and try to keep the same lines/look as the stock ones. Should be fun!
