Very good point. It wouldn't have been a C shape per se, but it would probably have worked anyway. I cut it for clearance initially, and I was also worried about the inner side leading to sagging over time. By the time I thought about leaving it, it was already cut. My Dremel out-thought my brain.

To have a *symmetrical* inner panel, I could cut another one that I install on the inside. That could also get me closer to the actual tire width (not sure how important that is).
