I am thinking about doing the same for mine and do my wheels + tires at the same time. I heard you have to modify the dust shield for them

I trimmed my rear dust shields with cut-off wheels and then painted the cut edge so it didn't rust. I would suggest calling Z1 Motorsports or checking out their website for best pricing. Here are mine installed on my touring.
