Re: Gas Tank to road dimension?

With that wheel/tire combo you are well aboce the scrub line. In truth you could look under the back of a lot of 50's / 70's cars at the next local car event and see a number with more exposed and lower to the ground tanks sitting at stock height.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.

I think the worst case scenario is when you run over the spike strips that LEO's have set to stop you and all tires go.... set the tank a couple of inches above that.
