Not with a 10" wheel. A 9" wide wheel would have allowed me to tuck more and not cut the inner bedside, but I don't care for the tucked-in look, so I did what I had to do to make it look right to me.

The only way I'd do more BS is with a wider wheel, but I am limited by the back seat. There is only 1/2" clearance on either side of the seat between the tubs. Now, on my truck, that is a different story altogether. The limiting factor for wheel width is the framerail- I'm thinkin' a set of the 20x14 Coy's wrapped in fat-ass Mickey T's
