One if these for trimming plastic is really good. You can be very accurate and leaves a neat cut! Light and easy to use.

For example a 265/75/16 (sidewall height is 75% of 265) is slightly taller than a 265/70/16 (sidewall height is 70% of 265).


Ah ok I get it now. So by default a wider tyre with the same aspect would be higher than a smaller one as it on percentages and not millimetres.

Trimmed fronts minutely today in the corners and no more rub..... On the front ahem
So a little trimmage on the back part and that's literally only nipping the inner arch lining back a bit!

Used a metal jigsaw blade and a little sandpaper to smooth the edge and I'm happy!

I am running 36mm spacers tho
