Good point. I hadn't taking into account how far out the nose of the new treads would be. I might have to make it a 2x4. Thanks.

if you have a scrap 2x2/x3/x4, you could see how it might look.

my other thought would be to use a multi tool and the height of your tread/riser to score a line along the stringer. then a small, sharp chisel to knock it out cleanly. though I'm pretty sure that would be more work and not look any better...
