    Max tire size Full Fender rear. 33 Bicycle Front Fender

    Folks can someone help please,

    I think 255/45R18 with 30 offset and 3/4: spacer works well in the front, please correct me if I'm wrong..

    but for the back I'm perplexed....anyone running a 285?295?305? if so what is your setup?

    If they are the same fenders & brackets as the hot rod, 255/35ZR18 fit but needed 1/2" spacers to center on 18"x9.0" wheels with 5.0" back spacing.

    My rear tire size is 285/40-R18. I am running Nitto NT555G2 tires on Rocket Racing Hypershot wheels 18x11 with 7.00 inches backspacing. It is a snug fit, but works with full fenders.

    BTW, the wheel width is important for these wide rear tires. If I ran a narrower rear wheel, the vertical sidewalls would reduce fender clearance.
