It's really strange the way fender manufacturers define what wheels their fenders fit. Some don't even give the actual fender dimensions. Those poly fenders were designed for 19.5" and 22.5" dual wheels. These polished stainless fenders are for 16" or 17" dual wheels. I still have to bump them out a bit because federal law requires a minimum of 3" tire/fender clearance.

Bob,
To heck with the feds. What are the chances that they are gonna focus their attention on you? They have much bigger fish to fry. Of course, Murphy's Law states that if you ignore the law the feds will be waiting at the end of your driveway for you....LOL

Oh, I wholly agree Bobby. I love the snug-fit look and I would totally do it if I could axle mount the fenders, but they will be chassis mounted and I will need a couple of inches for spring bounce. I anticipate being pulled over within fifty feet upon entering a public road anyway. I'll have my GoPro ready.

I hear ya
yea, axle mount would sure look cool. it would keep everything neat and tidy looking.
Are you going to have to plaster "Not for Hire" stickers all over this thing?

^^Do you know how cool it'd be if he ran around town offering to do small concrete odd jobs? Man I'd be waiting with a bag of popcorn everywhere he went, that'd be badda$$.

Hahahaha. I'm a retired chief engineer pushing 80, and that's not in mph. The honey-do list and life itself keep progress slow.
