With a 28x10.5, you're definately filling out the fender well. Without extensively reworking the front part of the wheel "tub" an removing the bump top area, I'd say you're gonna be limited to narrowing only 1/2" - 3/4" per side.
You can narrow it more, I'm sure, but more work with the sawzall and bfh will be required.
