All other things being equal (rim width), it's 10mm, which would equate to just under an inch.

25.4 mm = 1 inch....

actually it is about 4 tenths of an inch difference (Less thank 1/2 inch).....

But you know how Mac always lies about length (I mean measurements)

I went from a 140 to 160 on my standard and it made a huge difference in the look. I put the deuce tire and wheel on it. Nothing bigger would fit within the fender.
