On my build, I was 1/4 inch from the firewall on the passenger side. After much thought and measuring, I decided to recess the firewall 2 inches. The whole thing worked out perfect with extra valve cover clearance and the wheels now centered in the fenders. This also allowed me to move the cab mounts forward 1 inch while also gaining 1 inch of clearance behind the engine. It actually didn't take that long to do once I got rolling.
