Cut 3/4 " off the front and moved the hangers back 1/2 ". Went to 28x14.5 and there was more clearance . The chrome stone guards on the rear were there because the tire would rub on hard dips with the 29's and they protected the paint . They didn't rub at all with the 28's. Here it is with 28x14.5's there was a lot more room.
