Beat the inner lining with a rubber mallet. You'll see a line up in there. Make that line the new well border.


Search for others on here with the same wheels/tires you have & see what they've done. Some may even be running spacers.

You still have the factory rubber bushings on the axle housing for the upper control arms? it sounds like you have some side to side play in there...

Otherwise I would look at some spacers (maybe enven 1/4")... or making room the old fashioned way...
