Im guessing that with a good 4 inches of fender trimming you can stuff 38s in a hi-boy, since they'll work with a 4" lift. I've used those flexible plastic strips used for edging (its U shape slips right over the edges) with good luck. I just glue them on. If you wanted to get trick you could take it to a bodyman and have those edges rolled. Make sure you use something good like a sawzall to cut those fenders, they can get messy.
If your knuckles ain't bleeding you did something wrong.
