Tire / space..???
« on: April 04, 2007 - 10:31:15 AM »

Used to run a set of         30.0 / 12.5 - 15  ET street..
Now I just put on my new 29.5 / 10.5 - 15  ET Slicks.

And now, only got ½ an inch to the corner of the fender..

How the fu.. can the 29.5 be bigger than the 30.0..???

How much bigger do these slicks get at 120 m/h..???

Did you change wheels with the tires? if so different backspace on the wheels
I'm not familiar with slicks but it seems the sidewalls may bulge more than street tires.
