Thanks Chris, looks real good!

Accelo- And the 1/4 clearance I'm talking about is between the tire sidewall and the sides of the wheel-well when the suspension is at max travel (ie-laying on the bump stops). Normally there will be more room, but the wheel-well curves in a good 1/2+ under the fender lip. I would imagine the only time I would be at max suspension travel would be hitting an unexpected large bump/pot hole so the sidewall deflection wouldnt be an issue-but I am curious as to how much sidewall deflection there is on a lower profile (4.5 inches or so) tires during hard cornering.
