Re: bagged burb project..
well..bought some new tires and then found out my measurements were off by slightest of margins. picked up some 255/45/20 Goodyears for my wheels since i had two bad tires and i felt the other tires' side wall was too small. i took some measurements and visually every looked ok, i stayed with same width to avoid problems. FAIL...put the new tires on and they're about 1/8 an inch too wide to comfortably tuck in-order to layout.
i didn't mess with it too much tonight, but i'm guessing the shorter tire (255/35/20) were pulled inward more by the upper a-arms which cleared the fenders. A lesson in geometry, but all is not lost.
my dad works at a machine shop so depending on the amount of material on the back of wheel we might try to remove some to get clearance or worst case i can put the 2 'good' old tires back on front (kept all 4) and wait until i get new rims.... disappointed, but not defeated
