265/65/18 here and thats a squeeze so anything bigger which a 255/60/20 is, then i think it would be a struggle without removal of the outrigger. Also have to think about clearance at full articulation  2003 BMW M5- 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

So if it is true, there's no way I'd remove it.
I wouldn't remove the whole thing, just shave it flush with the rest of the wheel well. However I have an old Grand Cherokee that I modify and do silly things with.
Looks like I'll be saving for some Evo Dakar wheels... Although that'll go down like a lead ballon with the "her indoors".
