The WMS on the front axle of the AD trucks is actually narrower than the rear.

My 54 is 58.5 WMS. Your 3800 should've been the same.

I'm guessing you're going for the pre-runner lifted look?

So 63" may not be a big deal depending on how tall and wide of tire you're using. The stock trucks had kind of a tucked in the fender look anyhow. Most guys bump out the wheels to about 60" when doing IFS swaps.

More than likely the tire will stick out a little in the front and back.
