Here are 225 X 45 X 15s on 7 inch wheels.
I didn't do this just for the hell of it, but because that's what I needed to get the things under there at full suspension compression. The static ride height is about 4.75, doughnuts to ground at both ends. Also needed 7 mm spacers in the rear to keep the tiar off the inner fender...I run -2 deg camber at both ends. I ain't much for the jacked 4X4 look. ......
A test fit of the tire wheel combo prior to the flare. See, it "fits"....you just can't turn the wheel. .......
A test fit of a 9 X 23 X 15 cantilever slick on 7s. It "fits" , but it don't .....tires flex , but what the hell. .......
