f/s is frontspace - how far it sticks out
b/s is back space - how fat it sticks in
I include F/f & b/s specs
wheel
nominal tire
installed tire estimate, the wheel stretches the tire to a greater or lesser extent depending on the wheel width wrt the tire spec, the stretch is mainly seen in the s/w(section width) and much less so in tire OD, treadwidth(t/w) is unaffected

f/s for a 245/45 on a 9EYT15 is ~4.2" probably a tad more but not much, this fills the wheel well w/o interfering w/ any thing, max that I have use for rear f/s is ~4.5" but this requires a ride height that I don't care much for, I have settled on 255/40 on 9.5 w/ f/s of ~4.45", this around the max f/s that allows for a nice low ride height

Here's my car last alignment front tire f/s is ~3.57" rear tire f/s is ~4.45"
