I run 245/40 in the rear and have no issues on the outboard side, didn't have to do anything to the fender to fit that.

On the inboard side, I think you could definitely file down the edge of that perch. Just hit it with some undercoating or something to seal it up. If you just take a mm or two off where it is closest it won't hurt anything.
Awesome! Much appreciated! [emoji120][emoji16]
