I’d hate to see you finally figure out a rim/tire that fits your discs only to have the tire contact the fender.
That is a really good question. The bed was on but not the fenders. To ensure that the spacer I purchased was going to work, I remounted one side and took measurements. There is another 2 inches from the current wheel/tire to the outside edge of the wheel well. The 1 1/4" spacer should work out fine. Also, the bottom edge of the wheel well is about an inch above the top of the tire, so I should be fine. Thanks for the heads up!
