But with that said- I had gotten such a deal on the setup that even if I decide to stay with the stock fender line and purchase 2 new rear wheels in a size that will fit, I will still be in for less cost then if I had purchased 4ea- 5 bolt-on style wheels.
I have also thought about just reselling this setup and purchasing 4 new bolt-on wheels that will fit under the fenders.
No undoable mods have been made to the fenders as of yet.
More to come.

While getting wheels with the correct backspace is likely the best solution, there are others in addition to the fender flare idea.
Are you using a live axle (e.g. Ford 9")? Have you thought about getting it narrowed?
