Hey!
I have the same size tires and instead of drilling every rivet out he is right just get a sharp knife and cut a few inch. out of it. it is a soft plastic it was a 2 min job and it made a huge difference.

Just trim the part closest to the tire. There's a line where the plastic piece starts to turn in (more of a seam), it makes a good guide, and keeps the curve of the bumper. With a sawsall it'll take about 30 second to do the whole thing.

i have that same rubber piece on the bottom of my bumper. mine is held on with plastic rivits, that are easily removed with a flat head screw driver and some downward force.

Forget that stupid plastic valence. I just cut tore enough of mine off that I could get it stuck under the tire, then drove forward and let the truck tear the rest of it off. Just get rid of the whole piece. It makes the front stance look so much better.
