Default Tub install

My tub opening is 58 inches wide so I can't fit a standard 60 inch tub.
Can tubs be cut to take an inch off from either side? Or better yet,
is it common practice? I saw a 52 inch wide tub but that seemed too
small. Are there any other options short of a room addition?


Open up the wall at the head of the tub (away from the controls)
nail in 2xXs flat in that wall, and pare down the existing studs
to match with a big-ass chisel and mallet.
