I'd suggest the front lower corner of the wheel arch should also go on the front guards to clear the tyres, depending on the wheel tyre you are running.

 

I had to take some out of the back also on mine, but again due to the deep dish wheels I'm running.

I concur. You can get away with that shape on the rear arches because they don't have to steer, but on the fronts I'd suggest cutting as much as possible before paint. Something like...

Hmm that's strange, I can't edit that post any more but the picture is showing fine for me.

 

It was from one of the flare fitting threads showing how much is cut away.

Sweet!

 

But you haven't taken more out of the front guards, its not a case of maybe, its a case of absolutely, it needs to be done or the tyres will catch, front and rear, pretty much everywhere.

100% agree with Mick. Love your work, but those front guards will give you dramas for SURE.
