You definitely have the right idea. The reason for the cutting of the fender well is to not only A) provide space to compensate for the lowered vehicle/larger &wider wheel, but also B)to seperate the outer sheet metal from the inner sheet metal so you can actually spreadbend the inner fender well easier. One guy did a nice writeup of this on a white S13 coupe he had. It was the most detailed I've seen yet. Spend some time Googling it.
