My tires did the trimming for me. LOL

I'll try to take some pics of the holes for you.

Ditto. But then the hole edges started to curl toward the tire, which had the same effect as a playing card clothespinned to kid's bike. So I cut the hole bigger with my pocket knife.

Rubbing for me is only on the right side wheel housing. If I had to do it all over again, I'd install the tires, drive a few miles, look for rub spots then remove the tire and attempt to remount or otherwise adjust the housing. The rubbing I had was so minor that might have solved it.
