Yeah 30's not in this life time LOL

Yeah it is actually really easy to do, plasma cutter makes it go oh so much smoother. I went the extra step that only a handful have gone and widen the lower portion of the rail that gets awful thin after notching. I didn't like the idea as I kept thinking about if I got hit hard in the rearend it would jamb the rear bumper in the ground and give a ramp for the vehicle that hit me to go over top the car, not that I want anything to happen like that, but it made sense to me to do it this way. You can combat this with a thick plate, which I did double duty, widened the lower portion and added 3/16 plate behind the original steel that I sunk into the rail.
Well this is something on my mind now lol i have all the tools available since I work construction on our U.S. Military bases.Thanks for some of your input and pics and info.

The bad is the wheels I want in 24's are going to be 24x11 to get the 5'' lip,also a 275/25 tire would be way to stretched to its limit and look real stupid with the rim hanging out the tire :(.

How much would I need to cut for a 24x10 wheel with a 4.5 backspace? it has a nice 5.5'' lip, is the wheel to out or to in for our b-bodies rear fenders?
