Hi all, new member here from Ohio.
Ive searched through the forums and could not find what i was looking for, so i'm hoping someone can help.
I just installed VR3 Recon wheels (18x9 with +18 offset) onto my Yokohama Geolanders A/T's (285/60/18). Everything looks great, but unfortunately i need to trim in front of the wheel as well as behind. Trimming in front was no problem, however, behind the tire, there is rubbing on the bolt.

My questions is: would you recommend removing the bolt or keep the bolt in, before using the BHF to pound back the metal...any noticeable effects from having the metal bent back?
