Help - move side radiators forward

I'm trying to move the side radiators forward to create the space for additional tire/wheel options.

I've found one thread that indicated the radiators were moved forward 1" (no instructions) and another thread with two pictures and limited instructions. I remain unclear how to modify the two main brackets without a bunch of trial and error. There appears to be enough flexibility in the hoses to accommodate a significant fwd move with bumper fitment being the constraint.

I'm assuming someone has moved the radiators forward and found the limit with proper bumper fitment. I would appreciate any information and tips.

It's been disassembled . . . I have the two brackets off one side and can post pictures.

Nexxus_01 is infamous around these parts
I have done this on both of my brackets because my tires were starting to rub on the fender liners on both sides due to my 19" rims. What I did was simply enlarge the mounting holes in the direction where I wanted to move the bracket. only one hole needed to be enlarged, the rest can be slightly bent. This worked out perfectly, unfortunately i don't have any pics to show as its all buttoned up now.
