This might seem like a "hick" solution, and I don't know how the
heat would affect the arm, but if you do go with a trim, how about
welding on a strip of steel on top of or below the outer edge of the
arm? Wouldn't that strengthen it if strengthening was needed? Just
an idea.

Yup,

Mine are 15 x 6's. You want 'em? Name your price if ya do... Oh
yeah,
and another thing, let me get my front wheels taken care of first. I
would
like to get that out of the way.

I think I am going to do a little of both. A thin wheel spacer and
some
minor clearancing to the A-arm.
