I was wondering how the claws would look on the XJ. How is tire/fender clearance with suspension flexing?

I cant help but wonder, what about cutting the stock fenders out to fit the tires and putting some flares from a Dingo body? My XJ body is on its way and I want the MT Baja Claws but I dont wanna hack my body too much. Thats the main reason I went from 2.2's to 1.9's on my Honcho in the first place.
