Since I had some spare time after the compressor died, I thought I would look and see how much room I actually have to play with now that I have the deep tubs. The tires that I have in these pics are a 285-35-18. I'll have to trim the quarter/outer wheelhouse lip as it's pretty tight, but wow what a difference. If anyone ever wondered if it was worth it...here's proof.
Gap between tire and wheelhouse/quarter lip
Distance between wheel and inner wheelhouse now
This is a 2 1/2" piece of square tubing that fit between the tire and inner wheelhouse
