Default Re: Radial Tire Clearance 35 pickup

^^ Good point above, (I thought tub was talking rear axles, but no, he's right, the front axles are narrower).

I have some experience of this, if you put 37 spindles and hydraulic brakes onto an earlier axle, and then use wires,(and the associated thin support spacers) you do increase the track width.

But the reality is that the tyres are too wide. a 205 16 is narrower and plenty tall, but that is also too wide (imho).

I don't know if a 195 16 is available, but that would be more appropriate for the front of your truck.

Or some 600-16's.
