I'm replacing a quarter panel, first of many panels to replace. I'm planning on a mini tub, but noticed the outer wheel well will prevent tires from filling out the wheel well. I see the factory wheel tubs are structural and are a triangulation point for the inner shell.

How do you tub the wheel wells and maintain structural integrity?
