it'd be a lot of work to move the entire wheel opening back... i've seen it done tho. looks awesome. kinda like the difference in a LJ and a TJ jeep.. extend your body! lol.

i'd say just extend the wheel opening. ideally, i'd like to see the tire as center of the opening tho...

She's not built for aesthetics. I think the stretched wheelbase and FW axles are going to really help the stability.

unrelated to your build, but could you message me what all it took to make that trailer? as in how you did the suspension and axle.
and did you just cut and weld the frame after the cab?
