Re: rear fender tire clearance 49
I kept mine, but I cut relief slits in them and pounded them flat against to top of the fender so that they would not internfer. I also drilled out the rivet and welded them smooth.
Obviously I did this prior to paint. I am running 20's now, but I mocked up with 275/60 15 set up with air ride and they cleared. Marc

Re: rear fender tire clearance 49
What did you do to the front braces to fit the larger wheels?

Re: rear fender tire clearance 49
I don't run the rear brace. I notched and reinforced the front braces.
