I always used http://rimsntires.com/specs.jsp but always wished they had a visual for the specific car's suspension and fender/QP.

My fender gap calculation is strictly vertical gap, it doesn't account from the edge of the tire, as I can't assume what the corner radius of your specific brand of tire is.

Can you add camber to the mix? I feel like that would help.

No, that's not what I mean. Compare a 215/45/17 to a 225/45/17. The diameter of the tire is 625mm vs 634mm, a 9mm difference. Your fender gap calculation shows a change from 54mm to 45mm, also a 9mm difference. But what you aren't factoring in, is that increasing tire height doesn't push it directly closer to the fender. The tire is attached to the car at the hub, and the height change occurs above AND below that. So it would be 4.5mm closer to the fender, the other 4.5mm increase at the bottom would increase ground clearance, not decrease distance to the fender.

Neat, but without wheel width this tool is very incomplete in showing you changes in fitment as width changes fitment the most drastically.

So this tool assumes that the wheel width is equal to the tire width?
Nice work, in any event, but if you can somehow include wheel width in this, that would make this the mots comprehensive tool available to us. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of the math involved with using wheel width and tire width together to come up with the exact fitments. |
