30 inch tire guys

What did you guys do to fit the tires? Go straight to the bumper to get clearance? stretch the quarters?

I'm doing one now. Had to open it 5" for 295/65r15 M/T's. You actually have to cut the metal in front of the wheel and rear and then rework the bumper cover. See pics.

I moved the rear back a bit and did a lot of rework on the rear cover.
