I'm thinking I would cut back to 1/4" and weld some 1/4 x 1/2 FB along the seam to make up for lost strength. I could then move the tire out another 1" or so and end up with 1/2- 5/8" clearance

That's about spot on where mine is & I share the same concern of it being tucked too much. The issue w/trimming the inner bedside flange is you can't trim much (maybe .675?). Even @ that, I would want to reinforce it somehow. I am still contemplating possibilities....

What wheel widths did you ultimately purchase?
