Anyone cut lower 1/4 in front of rear wheels to fit 315/60/15?
I`ve done 2 cars that way . I slowly and carefully cut the lip off ,and formed/BENT , it to the inner fender shape , which was the same contour of the orig. fender line , one side didnt even need bondo before PAINTING , the other only needed a hair "ABOUT 1/16'' because of diff metal hardness , for some reason , it wouldn`t bend as good as the first side.
GO VERY SLOW , IT WILL TAKE VARIETY OF TOOLS , EVEN USED THE CLAWS ON A CLAW HAMMER TO BACK UP THE INSIDE WHEN STARTING THE ROLL IN.
Slow is the key , and Im` not a body man .
295 60 d15, the springs have settled , and the tires are about even w/ the top of the fender well now , 8 1/2'' rims on it now , pic ewas 15x8.
