Can you do a fender drop down option where Rocket Bunny Fenders is an option. Front adds 40mm and rear adds 65mm. It'll be cool if you can simulate that in the calculator for those that are potentially buying the Rocket Bunny kit to gauge the wheel size they need to fit that kit.

Hi all, just wanted to mention we have over 150 registered wheel / tire fitments, with lots of different variations to camber, ride height, etc. This is great to see, thanks for the support! If there are other tools that you can suggest to help out the community, please let me know.

Some interesting stats:

Widest (legitimate) tire: 275/20R18 on 10.5" +30 (@kennethluy)
There are 7 members with 265/35R18 (including me!)
Narrowest sidewall goes to @Blaiz, with 245/30R19s.

Cheers.

This is a great tool to visualize the potential tire choice. However, if I may point out one problem: the unit for tread height. It should be percentage (%) rather than millimeter (mm) since it is the percentage of the tread width. I would assume the calculation is done correctly and this may be just a labeling error.

If I may offer some suggestions:

1. In the Tire Diameter (mm) field, calculate the difference between the new value vs OEM in percentage with 2 significance (x.xx%). This number means how much variance of your speedo with the new tire setting. This variance can come in handy to mentally adjust your speedo you read from the car based on the new tire setting.
2. If you can high-light the distance you are calculating (e.g. fender gap, or offset from flush, etc) on the main display it will clearly show which is which. To simplify the display, you can simply use numbers in your text like 1 for Sidewall height and 2 for tire diameter and so on and display the numbers, if possible with two bars to show the ends. This will clearly present the distances to be measured and easier to convey the message.
3. Forgive my ignorance, have you calculated whether a choice of tire would rub the side wall (does not fit)? You might want to calculate the theoretical side wall gap based on the tire choice. This can come in handy.

Anyway, this is a great tool and thank you for that.

Keep up the good work!

Cool. My wheels & tires were stolen off my car today so figure I'll replace them with something more interesting.

That's awful! What did you have, and what are you considering?

Stock. Cheaper to upgrade than to buy the OEs lol.

I'm thinking 18" bronze Enkei SR6 on my Whiteout will look pretty sweet if I remove my red mudflaps. Sadly I had week-old Pilot Super Sports on the wheels. I'll likely get more of those

Are there spacers made to fix specific offset "issues"?

Based on my setup, here's where my offset from flush ends up. Am I aiming for 0, or is a little desired/normal?

Front: -7
Rear: -14
