Looking for a few measurements from those of you with 9 inch wide rear wheels.

Specifically
inner fender to inside of rubber tire.
Inner fender to outside of rubber tire.

Thanx
Rich

Rich -
I am sure you have thought of this already, but...
You will also need tire size as this will effect measurements...

I am hoping to get several numbers to see what the range is.
I will plan for the outer range and use spacers to make it fill out the fender...

What wheels? Backspace? How tall?

Rear:
With the cookie cutters and the 9" slicks i use a ~3/4" spacer and i have shaved fender lips and i can't get my finger inbetween the fender and the tire. It's that close.
There's just enough space on the inside for the tire to move with the suspension. 1/2", if that. No rubbing.

Front:
With the cookie cutters and the 9" slicks i use a ~1/4" spacer and i can barely get my finger inbetween the fender and the tire.
There's just enough space on the inside for the tire to clear the shock, but only after i cut down the housing sleeve (still using the top as a large washer).
With the shock housing in place, the tire was too wide.


I run 100mm wheel studs front/rear and full late model 911 hubs in the front.

So, what is the measurement???
I dont have GT flares, I will be bending some metal and making custom flares...
Just looking for the overall measurement

Rich

Math is your friend ...


Inner clearance: ~1/2"
Outer clearance: ~1/16"
9" slick tread width: 9.2"

Rear GT flare useable space: ~10"
