Bigger tires, fenders etc. (2)
Again thanks,
So the option of sawing the fiberglass is the least of the worries. Specially since the fender flair is so neatly able to be used after the remodeling. I don't think it means anything to the functional vehicle.
The issue of the bearing load seems to be whether the wheel bearing can carry the 4.5 inch wider leveraged load. The original tires were LT225/75Rx16E or 225mm wide by 168mm from tread to hub. Your new tires were 235/85/16. 235mm wide by 199mm from tread to hub. The 31 mm is the 1.5 inch height difference. They are only about 1/2 inch wider, so it must be the SRW hub that causes the leveraged load.
Rebuilders must know the load ability of the front axle and bearing. I am looking. What are the specs of the SRW wheel or hub you used?
