Bagged rear fender brackets

What's everyone doing with the rear fender brackets inside the fender? Tires are up tight on them when aired out.

What year truck? On my 48 I cut slots in them and hammered them flat for more clearance.

What I suggested should also work on a 54. You basically are making the brace as flat as possible by cutting slots in it an folding over the edges to make a flatter brace.
