How much width works inside the fender lines?
So, for a variety of reasons I'm now pretty sure I want to swap front axles. Stock WMS measurement is 62", I think?
The truck is torn down, so I cant readily measure space right now. How much wider than 62" can I go with a 235 series tire before I get into trouble? I should be fine with 64, yeah? |

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.
