fender spacing

[k5ranger]

i went from 13" to 14" tires, now how much space is needed or recommended between the fender and the tire? i have approx. 1" at the top and 1.25" on the sides.

Re: fender spacing

There should be room for a full bottom-to-top movement of the wheel. Ideally there should even be room for a dirt sticking to the thread.<br /><br />When using the trailer with full load no hole or bump may make the tire meet the fender. Sideways you're fine, upwards it sounds pretty narrow.<br /><br />Consider repositioning the fenders.

Re: fender spacing

I had 3" vertical clearance on my ezloader with 8" wheels. I put on 13" wheels and new fenders but maintained the 3" clearance...
