Anyone modify there wheel wells to accept larger rims?

Can someone give me a run down on what you need to do this? I just picked up a welder and have been iching to use it. What gauge steel did you use? What tools are needed? Any tips on making it turnout good? How about bending the metal to conform to the shape of the well? Im wanting to tuck in 11-12inch wheels

you can fit 11" wheels without any modifications whatsoever as long as you get the proper offset.

well i still have to do it anyways since I dont want to have anymore offset then the stock wheels have already. I might eventually run really wide slicks out back. Also I'd have a much wider selection of wheels i could use

no need for welding anything. just have to use the BFH mod on the inner wheel well and perhaps trim the bump stops a bit. there are people running 18x12 wheels with out too much modification.
