I'm thinking I would cut back to 1/4" and weld some 1/4 x 1/2 FB along the seam to make up for lost strength. I could then move the tire out another 1" or so and end up with 1/2- 5/8" clearance

So this what I did for tire clearance. I cut 5/8" out and left 1/2". I then welded some 3/16" x 1/2" FB on top for added strength. By leaving the 1/2" I didn't cut through any spot welds. The braces then had to be lengthened and welded. Seems like a lot of work but if you have a large wheel and tire (31" tall) at this ride height you need all the room you can get.
