Bad Apache Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hey Guys! I’m primarily a lurker here. Learned tons from you guys. Sometimes more than I wanted to know, lol. Well I find myself in need of some help. My 1947 Plymouth business coupe came to me without rear fenders. I have acquired some NOS ones but their fitment needs some help. I’m building the chassis now and trying to figure out rear axle width and tire clearance. So I need someone to drop a plumb bob from each fender wheel opening innermost lip in the middle of the opening and mark the floor to give me an accurate width lip to lip. Also would help if it was from a car that is lowered some. And love to here your track width or fender to tire clearance with what tire size you’re running. Hopefully that all makes sense. And thanks in advance of your dirty pant knees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymjim Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Sorry to take so long with your request. My car is stored for the winter off prem. Got over to it today & measured as you asked & width between rear inner fender lips is 6' 1\2". This car has 2' lowering blocks & rolls on p225/75/R15's. Maybe the pictures will help. Picture #2, there's about 1 1\4" clearance at that point. Hope this is helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Apache Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Can’t thank you enough! That’s perfect. I really appreciate you going out of your way to get the information for me. Probably felt good seeing the car. Winter feels long here. Ready to do some driving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
