Hey Wayne, do you have any pics of your rear wheel well? I'm interested in seeing just what mods you had to do to make those massive 345's fit. Did you have to notch the frame at all?

TIA!

I didn't notch the frame, but I did beat on it with a BFH. I trimmed the fenderwell lips to within 3/16" of the quarterpanel and cut sections out of the inner and outer wheelhouses for the tall/wide tires.

It is a very close fit and at times the tires do rub. They look good, but after all the work it took, I wouldn't do it again.

I didn't take any pictures inside the wheelwell, but it ain't pretty!
