That would be a challenge in not making it appear disproportionate since it would be quite narrow at the top without lengthening the wheel tub. If the top of your tire is above the hip line, it would be more practical to go with an aftermarket drag race type of wheel tub.

In my case, I raised the bed 1 inch in addition to widening the wheel tubs.
