So I'm feeling a little back to normal and feel like I might be able to get some things done.
I did mine twice now. Maybe it was even 3 times. I think I'm still rubbing. Just want to see how far you guys took it back. If you rounded the plate back. What about plastics? Removed them? If I can't figure something out, I might remove the wheel spacers.

I only had a slight rub after maxing out the UCAs. 255/80/17 in wheels with a -10 offset.

Nothing with the plastics
 
Thanks for posting that.

Looks like I'll be redoing them. Can't relocate because I think my rock sliders are mounted to it. I have to go look. I'm so butt hurt.

I watched so many videos and looked through so many forum posts. I guess I miss where it gets hammer back. Since now they offer the angled cut ones. Which weren't offered at the time I did mine. There's no way that I missed it should have been cut steeper or anything was to be bent.
I guess it's just 6112 not high enough and 16x8et0 + 1.25" spacers.
I followed the thread this pic came from, you can see they just go straight across. Doesn't look like much at all. Then when we did it, it was keeping that circle intact for structural reasons. But I'm seeing some people just cut and weld with the CMC plate connecting it into a dented circle. I'm just gonna have to get off my ass and see what's rubbing. Then keep searching for a solution for the plastics.

Mine cut is basically just like that. Take off the spacers first I had them on mine and it rubbed like hell. Took em off immediately. On the truck for all of about 5 minutes

Love to hear it.

I have a bunch of pics of mine; let me see if I can upload them; bad cell service here.
 
I forgot to say some UCAs might help you push the wheels a little forward too
 
I can’t find all my other pictures of this area but I’m going to keep looking. Here’s some.

Some more from when it was only a chop (pictures in previous post are a relocation).
