    I would consider some minor trimming before dropping some major cash on fiberglass fenders. I never had to trim with my new tires (thank god for 32s) but for the most part i think its the fenderwell that needs to be tremmed, not the actuall fenders.

    Agreed ^

    The trimming is mild and not noticeable. Just get a pair of tin snips and go at it :)

    Do you have a lift? 33s need at least 2.5 inches (with trimming) to fit

    Hmm try raising your front coilovers, any kind of lift on the back, ie, blocks aal new leafpack?

    they shouldnt be rubbing catastrophically, try posting some pics so guys with more experience can help out

    I run Fox coilovers with spindles, spacers, and 33in tires and rubbed really bad. I just cut back some of the plastic and got a van mount chop and that got rid of all the rubbing.
