Front end width measurements

[mtnman210]

I'm sure this has been done before but I couldn't find it....

I'm looking for a "real-world" measurement on outside to outside tire measurements. I'm looking for 60 fronts and also 60 rear measurements.

The info I'll need is:
is it front or rear
outside tire to outside tire measurment with full truck wieght as it sits
rim diameter,width,backspacing
tire size and what psi is in the tires

I'd like to see a good amount of different tire sizes I hope.

You've probably seen this, but I'll mention it anyways:

trailer buy/build?

good to hear (read) from you D
I'll see what I can do for ya

yeah I've seen the 60 bible. But it doesn't have the measurements I'm looking for. It only shows the axle width. I'm looking for the full width of axle with tires and rims.

I'm just doing a little comparison research for some thoughts on a new rig.

This could be a good thread with those kinds of measurements. Always nice to have easy access to that kind of info for all kinds of builds. Maybe we could also include sidewall to sidewall width so we would have the 'overall maximum width' too? I'll take some measurements tomorrow.

That's what I meant by outside tire to outside tire ....outer sidewall to outer sidewall
