you could do what jonas has done
1st - measure from tire to closest point
on inner body / suspension point this figure
will give you an idea of how far you can move
the wheel mounting flange outward ion the wheel and still have innerwheel clearance
2nd - put two standard wheels together flange to flange and then put spacers of some type in between the flanges until you have about 1
inch or so of tire sidewall to sidewall clearance. the actual Dual Spacing figure is taken from centerline of one tire to centerline of the other tire (I have not unpacked my tech books so i would contact Cabel and have him get you the figure for 9.00 section tires.)
then subtracting the amount you are going to get from each wheel from the width of the spacer you used to check - this would be the width of a spacer you would have to have fabricated. you will also need to check the
length of the Dual Wheel Studs to see if they
are long enough to fasten the assembly together
min dual spacing is critical so that the
tires do not touch under load or cornering
or get rocks stuck
