Hey Mark,

They were not rubbing in that picture but once I got it in the shop and started putting some of the extra parts for the truck in the bed, it settled down on the tires. It looks like widening the tubs 2 1/2 or 3" would be plenty.

On the wheel spacers, I really don't want the tires to set out any farther than they do now. Cutting and welding the tubs won't be that bad and I have extra tubs on hand.

Picture below is what I was thinking on the flares. Like member "72freak" did his in this thread.
