Cutting rear bumper tabs.

Can anyone direct me to pictures of cutting the rear bumper tabs. I've looked and have not been successful in finding a good thread. I'm probably not hitting the right search criteria.

Thanks in advance.

I cut along the red lines. It depends how much you have to cut, by the amount of rubbing you have.

Chris,

How did you cut the Tab? What did you use? I have to somehow make my wheels fit and I need to shave the fender down a lot. Can you use a saw or something?

Dremmel will work, but I used a hacksaw blade for better control. It's very soft and easy to cut.

I'll probably use a Dremel and take as much off as possible according to the wheel offset calculator the difference between a 19x8 +50 and a 19x8.5 +45 is only 11 mm on the outside. I'm betting I can atleast take off that, maybe even a little more.
