A Body Tire Clearance

Yes, It's certified 8.50 now . Knowing my luck I'll have to get it recertified before the damn car goes down the track lol.
If you cut the inner fenders, I would do something to strengthen the frame rails and tie that into the firewall, There pretty thin sheet metal .
If the inner fenders up front get cut out, I'm definitely planning to have something to tie the frame near the radiator core support up to the firewall. The car will most likely need a cage to be run at a drag strip, so I'll probably have to talk to my local chassis builder. His chassis setups have been featured on a certain well known wreck on a well known show from Oklahoma where the driver walked away. Therefore I trust his work.
