The more creative & experienced w/fab work you are, the more clearance there is to be gained.

Contact (amount of contact) with the fender lip on the outer edge will be dependent on amount of actual physical drop & tire height w/the combo.
Worst case, I could tack weld some pieces and take them to a better welder/fab shop here in town.

If you don't mind taking a measurement, on your Coy front wheel setup, what is the distance form the outer edge of the tire or wheel (whichever is greater) to the outer edge of the fender minus the trim. Or including the trim if you have an idea of how much extra in increases that measurement.

If not, no worries.

I'm trying to account for as many variables as I can but it's becoming more obvious to me that some of this is going to have to be figured out on the fly!
