making room for the axle

Pulled out my gas tank with 2 year old gas in it.  Drained some, filtered it and ran it in the lawn mower.  Seemed to run fine.  Put some in my wife's car and the rest fit in gas cans.  Glad I didn't have to pour it over the heads of baby bunnies or anything like that.
 
So I put the axle under the car and slid the wheels on.  The spare tire well is in the way as you can see here where the axle is still too low:
 
Here is the last unmolested area of my car:

I wrote down the fender gap before starting this project; 3 inches.  Here is the wheels now at 3.5 inches:
 
Not very visible from the back which is good.  I think not using a bright shiny diff cover helps with this.
