Kodiak Brake Swap

I'm switching over to Kodiak 1 piece hub/rotors from brand X rotor over hub. My dilemma is that my tires are now 5/8" inboard from what they were originally. This leaves me with 2 7/8" wheel travel between the sidewall and the top lip (inner) of the fender. I have torsion axles (3) and I don't know if 2 7/8" is enough wheel travel. Any thoughts/experiences?

with the tire in the qriginal location ,how much travel did you have?,,,you could prob get 1/2'' spacers if it would center tires better

I'll have to go outside and measure, but off the top of my head I'd say 3 7/8" original clearance. I'm going to torque things down and roll over my curbing to check clearance today. As for the 1/2" spacers, if I go that route I'd probably have to press new lugs into the hub.
