TIRE CLEARENCE
HOW MUCH WILL A 34.5 X 17" SLICK GROW @ 200MPH?

Shock and bump travel too
Goodyear has some that grow 1 1/2" per 100 MPH and some harder compounds grow a little less near 1" per 100 MPH.

Tire clearance should ALWAYS take into consideration of FULL suspension COMPRESSION, as well as tire size and growth.
