I am not convinced you will need to trim the bumper. Have you taken clearance measurements of any kind at all?

The wheels at the moment are standard rims. I know that if i put wheel spacers on they catch. In the near future i will be getting -30 or -15 off set rims and 215/75/15 tyres so the bumper will need trimming

You have the 2nd gen bumper so it will need a trim or fit a 1st gen one.

That could explain my thinking as I had 225 70 15s on mine with no mods.

This was for 215/75r15 with 30mm spacers on standard alloys:
Then onto 235/75's and it still fitted:
They had to have a bit out of the back of the front wheel arch as well because that was also catching on mine. With the standard arches on the 30mm spacers made the wheels stick out a little on 215, so on with arch mods, then the 235's which stuck out more...
Now on 31x10.5 so has extender plastic bits here and there as well.
