I figure the surface of your sidewalls are sitting 26mm out further than mine, a full inch, they must actually sit outside the wheel well a little!

Looking horizontally, the tops of my front tires are actually tucked under the wheel well lip about a 1/4 inch, and you can barely stick a single finger between the edge of the tire tread and the wheel well liner at the closest point... I also only have about an inch and a half of travel on my shocks before they bottom out, even with the bump stops cut short, so I bottom out real easy if I'm not careful...


Yea I have a good inch and a half to 2 inches between tire and fender. Which is why only large bumps cause scraping... BTW, I only scraped in the rear, never once in the front. My Summer set up is pretty much completely flush.

Sorry but these are the best pics that I have of the summer set up:
