I have measured wheel wells to find out how big a tire I could fit with a homemade "T-square" constructed from two pieces of 1" angle iron. One bolts to two wheel studs and is your radius, the other T's off the first piece to establish width. Have the suspension compressed and wheel off, by rotating the angle iron, you can determine the working space available for tire and rim.
