I am running 235/75r15s, on the Rear of my 90Westy, mounted on EuroVanSteelys

that are 15x6 ET44 with 3/4" Spacers & the Slider Clears by about 1/4" & the ControlArm

Clears by about 5/8" ~ I've driven it with Slider Open doing a VideoShoot with no Issues ~

                                                                                        ORR ~ DeanB
