Distance between hub and outer fenders - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Correct, its 63.5". I was targeting 17 or 18" rims, but 17's seem to have limited tire selection in the 50-55 sidewall aspect ratio area.

Now I'm thinking about going with 255/55/R18x8 with a either a 4" or 4.5" backspace all the way around.

I originally wanted to run 275 rear, 255 front, but finding matching tires seems to be a pain, and it would be nice to be able to rotate . . .

Argh I been at this for hours trying to decide what to choose.

With the 3.75" BS and 62" rear how close to the rear fenders are the tires? And how close to the front?
