Ended up cutting all but ~3/16 of the wheel lip out and leaving the inner fender as is. The inner fender follows the contour if the qtr panel so any more change would mean a paint job which isn't in the budget right now. I also cut ~3/16 out of the floor behind the wheel tubs which allowed me to stretch the tub for a little more clearance.
Looks like a 12.5x 18 with 7 3/8 BS is perfect. With this spacing I have ~3/8 room all around for tire flex. Based on discussions with Travis at Formula 43 1/4' tire flex should be expected. I'm thinking to order 7.5" BS and plan to use a 1/8 spacer
Still debating on the front. Looks like 18x10 with 6.75 BS is best for the outer clearance but the wheel tool hits the sway bar and lower control arm at full lock. Think I need to pull the inner fenders tomorrow to see what mods can be done.
