Negative camber and staying with a 245 width tires helps as well.

So what tab do you relocate on the rear bumper? That seems like a lot of work lol for all that. When you oull out the fender how does it look afterowrd? Can you tell..I can't really tell a difference in your pics!

it is not a lot of work. there are several guys locally that do all that for about $50. after the rear fenders are pulled they look the same you cant tell you just get more room.
