Not quite sure what you're asking. The rule here is R26:

  • A. must not be greater than ¼” deep, or
  • B. not more than 8 in. wide.
Ideally, the last 1/2" must be backed by non-articulated frame. How far away a 1" wide piece of VersaFrame Tubing must be from the edge is probably an inspection discretion item, but I would aim to put the frame directly at the edge of the bumper, or a bit past.
