The plumb bob works well. I thought the tires I was using as a reference would hit the fender lip and it wasn't even close. It was an illusion! It will be easy to tell how much extra room you will have since you already have a fairly large tire to use as a reference. Let us know how it...

I have a 66 B-body 8 3/4 under my 74 Duster. You will have to drop a plumb bob down from the top of the quarter lip and measure to the inner part of the car where the wheel would hit first (you can use a straightedge for this). This will tell you the maximum width of tire. From there you have...
