    Lightbulb Rim and tire size calculation

    Does anyone have or is anyone able to take fairly precise clearance measurements of their fender/ wheel well/ suspension components? I was thinking instead of having so many "will it fit" threads, establishing a set of baseline measurements, preferably with a stock wheel and without a fender roll, and using a rim and tire size calculator everyone could find out for themselves what fits and what doesn't. https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/ has been my go-to site for wheel fitment but I've never been able to take accurate measurements of stock fitment. The criteria needed for good calculations would be as follows.
    Fender clearance:
    Wheelwells clearance:
    Suspension clearance:
    Scrub Radius (if you could find this):
    Tire being measured with size:
    Rim being measured with diameter/width/offset:
