Since the sidewall of the tire bulges out over the edge of the rim, it is important to find the overall width of a wheel/ tire combo so you can factor in these variables. The overall width of this 245/50 series tire on a 9-1/2-inch rim is 11-3/4 inches, and we have 12-1/2 inches of space. That gives us 3/4 inch of total breathing room, and since we already factored in a 1/4 inch of clearance on the backside, that leaves 1/2 inch of clearance between the outside sidewall and the fender lip. According to American Racing’s “Hoppy” Hopkins, this is the minimum, and it could still rub going over driveways. View Related Article
