The only bit of trimming I had to do with 235s and 3" lift was the back corner of the front arches. It was catching on lock. Havnt trimmed anything else and it is fine. I have only got nexen mt though, not special tracks would the more aggressive tread pattern might make a difference, bigger chunks on the outer edges of the tyres might catch.

Measured 50mm all the around the arches to cut off and then used the jigsaw on them, took 60mm from the actual metal arch which is behind, all smoothed off and painted after, will be looking at some kind of mud guards or rubber matting to go inside the arch to protect mud from spraying up.
