I thought the 9" minimum was for tread width but apparently we are going with 9" of section width, it doesn't take much tire to do that.

Actually I had no intention of everyone whipping out the micrometers and getting into arguments about it. I basically was considering actual wheel width but hey this is fun too. :popcorn:

Well, first time for me entering one of these, it's still not done, but I have wide tires.

The rears are 315-35-17 on an 11" rim, the fronts are 245-45-17 on a 9" rim. All are Nitto NT555.

The best pictures I have right now.
