Looking at the 4 mounting bolts, Im pretty sure there is enough room to drill new holes and then trim the bottom of the tab. And if not Im just going to "slot" the holes with my dremel tool. Im going to shoot for about a 1/4" space between the tire and the fender and try to get the front and back spacing evened up
