2D what'd ya have to do to cram that wheel in there? anything?
Fender off spread frame rails 1/2" or so.Think Baker did his with a mallet. I used a porta power to spread mine.Cut off any excess fender bolt and use skinny nuts.Should end up with 1/4" or so either side. That's with a 160-16.Now that I see 2D's set up it should slide right in there. The wider rim and less side wall height should free up a little more clearance.Mine has never rubbed even with the long fender Imboden.Only 4 Jack+ cokes to do the whole job timewise.

What G said, just need to spread the horns.
Before doing that I suggest centering the new rim and tire first.
Get the measurements for the spacers you'll need to get for the new rim once centered.
