<p>[QUOTE="vinijackson, post: 2860167, member: 71550"]Suppose I know I have 6" side walls and 24.5 tires, I know the outside diameter of the rear tire is even with the rear of the frame, and the outside diameter of the front tire is 6" from the end of the frame? Just to be in the ball park ......24.5 plus 12" side wall / 2 should put me in the center of each axel. So I subtract 18.25 (center of the rear axel) from 360 gives me 341.75. Then I do the same in the front and get 323.5. Subtract 6" from the outside diameter of the front tire to the front bumper and get 317.5. I will check by measuring it but thought that would put me in the ballpark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
