Basically once you make your initial fit of the tubs, you will see the areas that reduce the space, in most areas you can trim and fit to make them better. The REAL gain is the outer tub, if you are going to lower the car to the height I have mine, the tire will not fit and fully articulate with the factory tub...the radius is too low and flat where it meets the quarter panel.

Thanks for the input Jeff. From what I could tell from the pics, it looks like your replacement outer tubs that you fabricated run horizontally directly to the quarter panel without turning down towards the lip of the wheel house. Is that correct? Did you leave any of the original outer tub in place?
