I used the search, I swear, no luck though... pulling, cutting, or stretching metal fenders to make a custom widebody?

If you completely unbolted the front fenders and then pull them out horizontally 1"..... there would be a 1" gap between the OE fenders and the hood (and all the other three sides). But it would match the rear flares. It is easier to fit in gaps on the inside (fender to hood) than the outside. To me, there is a lot of compound curvatures to reproduce the front "flare" and make it look stock.

I guess what I'm saying... craftsmanship is more forgiving on the inner part of the fender than the outer portion.

okay, that is a novel idea, I like it! the uniform hood gap would be mint too. I will definitely look at that, thanks for the suggestion!

If you're just wanting to clear 35s with no rub on compression, you can trim a tiny amount of the lower fender by the pinch weld, and adjust your bump stops accordingly. I wheel mine pretty hard (for the platform) and this was a perfect solution. And it cost me $0. This is on my 35x12.50s with RW wheels and 2" spacers.

let's just say, I have some stupid wheel poke, that causes me all this grief...and instead of changing wheels...I am pursuing this route
