I need some input with the clearance between 205 75r14 tire ( zero off set ) and 60 1/4" frame width. The axle I'm going with is a flexiride torsion #2000 derated to #1800 and the sales guy I talked to ended with a 75 1/4" hub to hub face. He than told me that puts me at 2" of clearance between side wall of tire and frame. My math says 3.4" and do I need that for torsion arm and electric brake. It also adds to 8.1 for tire width and 3.4 my math for total of 11.5 and a wide fender. If torsion arm functions outside the tire rim and must clear frame and tire side I would understand the 3.4 of distance between side of tire and frame. This was a on the fly calculation on his part and maybe a little off when 2" clearance was stated. What's your clearance , Fender width and needed space for torsion arm to operate.
