Is anyone using R888 in 285/30 18 size and can find a dimension for me?
Trying to determine if they will fit a wheel/suspension/car I'm working on. I have the tyre diameter and carcass width but I don't know how much radius there is on the shoulder of the tyre. This could make all the difference as to where and how much they foul.

Many thanks
Steve

Hi Steve, this is a 285 R888 on a 10" rim. It is shaped very square compared to others. No significant radius at the shoulder. Perhaps this picture helps.
Cheers Cornel
Thanks that is both a help and a concern.
It looks to be more a facet rather than a radius.
Could I impose on you again and ask for the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the triangle under your straight-edge?

Cheers
Steve

That's spot on and just what I needed.
I've just amended my cardboard template and at first glance it looks like it will clear. Just need to get the jack under the wishbone and check clearance through the full travel.
Many thanks for your time and effort.
