There should be enough room. Once they are done and welded in there will be some more room. Not a lot, but I think enough. With any luck Ill never find out lol

Heard that. If all else fails, make them bolt to a plate thats welded to the tower. 4 grade 8's and some tabs and you should be good to go.

Got bored and broke out the cut off wheel.
I, like most, have had rubbing issues in the front of the inner wheel well.
This is temporary, but got me a decent amount of room. Enough to keep the tires from rubbing for now. At some point the whole front is getting cut out and replaced to open it up.
