Hi. I am assuming this is for a Grand Wagoneer. Removing front fenders is easy but the rear fenders are the limiting factor. The rear wheel wells are small compared to the front and would take serious cutting to go bigger than 32x11.5x15.
If you are serious about rock crawling, you need more ground clearance and travel than the stock suspension will give. Like Flint said, the fronts are easy to remove. But the rear is a double wall that separates and you will end up with a HUGE open gap between the two after cutting.
There was a Magazine project of a 60's panel wagon that they were running a 4" lift with 38x15 tires. They removed the inner fenders, cut the front outer fenders and cut and tub'd the rear wheel wells. This was to make a dune runner with a lot of compression travel. I've seen 36" tires with cut fron fenders on a stock suspension.

That was John Cappa that did that. He still gets hate for it. From what I understand it was badly rusted, but I never saw it in person. But hacking up a very rare FSJ made a lot of people angry.
