Ford specifications for E-Series wheels is 5.15 inches of nominal offset. Since a 225 MM wide tire should be just under +/- 9-inches wide (nominal), there should be just under 1-1/2 inches of space between tires other than at ground. That’s a quick way to check that you have correct wheel spacing. It also assumes you haven’t increased tire size.


I can fit a thumb through all the way around the tire. It appears to be spaced correctly except at the bottom with the bulge. I see you say other than at ground. Is it safe to say that I’m ok looking at the pictures? I measured from center to center at the top of the tire and it’s exactly 10 inches. I haven’t found this model tire in a chart anywhere to compare. Thor pawns me to Chevy, Chevy doesn’t seem to have a clue (at least who I talked with). Haven’t heard back from general tire but hoping to get a dual space measurement to base it off of from them.
