More photos below for reference. All this surgery has moved the inner wheelwell inboard 2.25" roughly which will allow for a wider profile rear tire. I marked the lines on the stock quarter where I plan to cut it. Trying to use as little of the C2C quarter panels possible. They're extremely flimsy.

I put the C2C quarter panel and corresponding AMD outer wheelwell together to see what future Vic will have to deal with. As I suspected, they don't match perfectly, but they're close enough to make them work. I'm thinking I may stretch the QP opening rather than mess with the AMD piece. It's a shame the C2C panel isn't as nice as the AMD stamping. I reckon beggars can't be choosers.
