have any of you guys ever ?

Please keep in mind...I am NOT advocating it or ever even considered the modification on any of my Mopars........just answering the OP question. YES, I have seen it done, but never seen any ill effects (on drag cars) from a small bit of grinding for tire clearance.

too many years ago....but I think it was on a big name racer, just cannot remember who. If I was in the pits at a drag race I was always peeking under the big boys race cars.
