I've lossened things up and moved them around to get it closer. Front leaf brackets and leaf spring perches by trimming the spring isolators. I can usually get everything within an 1/8" on something out as far as 1/2"
I stuffed 275/40r18's on 9" rims into a stock Nova wheelwell and have 3/8" on each side inner and outer without rolling the inner lip.
It can be done. I just think it would be a little extreme to start cutting axle tubes and axels for a 1/4-1/2 inch on an otherwise daily driver.
