NO trimming for 235/75, that is the factory size. Never messed with big tires on a 2wd, but a 31 will fit no problem. A 33 might with the right offset wheel, but maybe with the 32" there will be no problems.

A lot depends on your rim width. I had 33 x 12.5/15 on 8 inch wide rims and only needed a slight trim at the bottom rear corner of the wheel opening. Then when I changed to 10 inch wide rims that pushed the rim and tire out 2 inches therefore giving it a larger swing radius at full lock. So I ended up having to cut quite a lot out of the rear corner and some of the front bumper end. I eventually built a custom winch bumper so now the front is not a problem. The 12.5 inch wide tires really need a 10 inch wide rim to stop the side roll when cornering hard. Made a world of difference to the handling.

Here's mine with a 6" lift and 37s. Wheels are 17x9, 4.5" BS with 1.25 spacers. I would not have had to cut this much if I didn't have the spacers.

I started off cutting it short and steep like a lot of people do but I thought it looked goofy so I took the line all the way to the impact strip and you can hardly tell it was cut unless you look for it.

I had to trim about an inch off the end of the inner fender and hammer the rest back because it would rub if you turned it just right. Underneath I cut it all the way back to the first fender mounting bolt.

When I had 33s I didn't have to cut at all, even with 33x12.50. But that was due to having wheels that don't stick out. I trimmed a little off the inside of the bumper just to be safe.

The first place people usually need to cut is here. 90% of the time just trimming that little strip out of the inside of the fender will do it. Pay attention to how far up the side of fender your cut will end up though, if you aren't careful it'll be visible from the outside.
