Best way to modify spring platform on Konis

For extra clearance when fitting bigger/wider wheels
any pics please guys, can they be cut (like an RS500 battery tray)

I am doing mine this weekend and welcome your suggestions

i had some that ggr had done once and they just used an angle grinder to cut off the lower part at 45 degree angle then welded a flat piece of steel on to fill the hole, it depends on how much modding is reqd

Mine are old style by the looks of it even though they are only a few years old

Mine are 235's and they are Toyo R888's so they have a very square side wall and are that bit wider than 225's I think I might have to cut off quite a bit
to get them to clear with space
