Yes another Rocker tire thread help needed please
Ok at least this ones about the front not the rear
I'm just getting ready to pull the trigger on a new front wheel & tyre a 3.25x21, it will be wearing a 120 70 21 metz
My questions are 1. will I now need to center the front wheel?
2. will i have clearance issues with the stock front end?
3. will i still have room to fit a fender?
4. will this in turn cause issues with brake location?
I'm hoping its just a bolt in job,
many thanks
Dan

You will definitely have issues with the fender. I slotted the holes on the stock fender to raise it enough to clear the tire. I've sense decided to dump the front fender entirely.
I don't have any clearance issues with my stock front end and my 21" wheel/tire. (Mine is not as wide as what you're going with so I'm not sure if your question was in regards to width clearance or hight.

Heartland makes a nice front fender for a 211" wheel on the rocker. You should be fine with clearance with a different fender and as long as the wheel is built to spec for a rocker it shoudl bolt right on with the same spacers.

I think the biggest problem might be the brake clearance. I'm curious about this also, cause I want either a 21 or 23x 3.5 wheel. I know with my 110metz I can't fit the stock fender. I think Heartland and Bitchen' Seats got Rocker fenders for wider wheels.

If the wheel hub is the same specs as the stock wheel hub I don't see why you would need to re-center or have any brake location issues.
