Re: wheel clearance

What size tire do you plan to run. It doesn't matter what size the wheel is, it matters what the overall diameter of the tire is.

Re: wheel clearance

I have 235/70/15 tires and 3" Belltech spindles on the front of my daily driver. No problems with rubbing. The tires are somewhere around 27-28 inches tall.

im not sure what my tire size will be. I just wanted to find out if i should have my inner fenders painted when I get the truck painted. If the tires will or could rub then I wont bother painting or installing the fenders
