    I jut bought a set of 285/70/17 BFGs and 17" Method Mesh Wheels. I have already done the CMC and trimmed some plastic before I mount this set. But now I am on the border of if I should hammer back the pinch welds before I mount them or after? What do you guys think?

    I wouldn't unless I needed to, and if you mess with them anyway make sure you seal them extremely well.
