Fender Trimming

I have a 1975 F-250 HighBoy that is a loyal word horse. Thus not one strait peace of sheet metal on it. so i have begain the process of trimming off 4in all around. what is the largest tire that will fit with out any rubbing? Also what do you recomend to do on the edge of the fenders to take the edge off?

Thank You

I did this to my truck. I used a small metal file to round the fender lips out and take the rough edge off of them. It worked really well, you can run your fingers all around the weelwells and it won't scrape or cut you. I would think w/ a 250 and some major trimming you should be looking at 37-38" tires for that beast. I defenatly wouldn't get anything smaller than a 35.

"like a rock" on the sides of roads everywhere.

72 F-100 4x4. fresh 390 4bbl, NP435 tranny, spooled rear, 2"skyjacker springs front, 2" custom shackle flip rear, "mild" fender trim, 35x15.50 TSL/SX tires.
