Yes, otherwise he would have to model shapes for tire stretch, which I'm sure is a lot more work.

How accurate is this?

Also can you put in how close it would be to the shock/struts on the inside?

Thanks guys. The script assumes an 'appropriate' wheel width, because drawing tire stretch is tricky to do. If there was enough demand, I'd take that challenge on.

As for inside clearance, if someone wants to provide some kind of diagram, or something to work with, I'd be happy to add it in.

Mate I'm not a technical source, but if you know the camber you are targeting it's pretty simple to work out the resultant change of position of the tyre.


x = sin(c) * (D - SH) / 2


Where:

x is change in tyre position
c is camber in degrees
D is diameter of tyre
SH is sidewall height

You could leave the sidewall height out, but it just approximates halfway up the sidewall as the widest point of the tyre.

IMO it's incomplete without wheel width. These numbers arn't the same for a 8" wheel than a 9.5" wheel.

Hi all! I had some time to redesign and add in some key features people have been asking for:

- Camber
- Wheel Width

Enjoy! Maybe this will earn me a sticky now? ha!

I'd still love a way to see how close the wheel would be to hitting the shock/struts or a coilover for those of us who want to run a wide tire out back.

Where do I vote?

Agree that the next step should be inboard clearance, both the stock struts and guard liner (for those with coilovers).

Bump! Added a few design touches, for fun. I was in the process of adding inside clearance, and quickly realized there are several suspension / driveline components that will need to be added in to accomplish this. I'm still not sure if it will be possible. For now, I've added a hub, and rotor, with the ability to toggle a particular components visibility. It also reassures me that as complex as some calculations are, the numbers are adding up correctly. (For example, offset is bang on)

Cheers.
