Question Notching frame rails

I need to notch the frame on my '62 Catalina where it kicks up over the rear axle. Trying to make room for my 275-60x15 Yokahama's. They hit the frame from about half way up on the tire but look like they'll clear at the lower half. Can I slice an inch or two out of the farme and box it with steel plate? Will this weaken the frame at that point? What gauge steel should I use? I really don't want to narrow the frame and rear if I can help it. Thanks, Doug.
