Re: How much width works inside the fender lines?

I think that the 62 inches is the centerline of the tread of a stock tire on a stock wheel.

There are a lot of factors involved when you start swapping tires around.

diameter, width and offset of the wheel you are using.
Diameter, section width and other criteria of the tire.
Suspension height. The tire/wheel combo that clears fine on a stock height truck might not clear as well on a lowered truck.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
