I had to do a little trimming on the front bumper cover and the "mudflap" part of the body trim so the front tires don't rub when turning. Nothing major though.

I see the trimming you did on the front bumper in your pics on another thread, but I don't see where you trimmed the front mudflap part of the body panel.
I have those stupid body panels on my Sporty too. I'm interested in what you did.
I have 15x8 Wheels with 2.5" of backspacing. I'm concerned about clearance. I don't know if they will turn in the wheelwell. Main concern is the front wheelwell mudflap.
