OVERALL VEHICLE TRACK AND WIDTH Vehicle track width is determined by taking the axle track width and adding or subtracting the left and right wheel outsets or insets respectively. This method also works well for determining the track width on dual tires. Without changing the width of your axle, your An easy way to measure this yourself is to start on the left side of the axle, hooking your tape on the outside edge of the tread. Stretch the tape to the right side of the axle and measure to the inside edge of the tread. track width can change depending on your wheel outset or inset. Outset: The lateral distance from the wheel centerline to the mounting surface of the disc. Outset places the rim centerline outboard of the mounting (hub face) surface. Inset places the rim centerline inboard of the mounting (hub face) surface or over the axle. If 2" outset wheels are mounted backwards, this will significantly reduce track width and could affect vehicle stability. Disc Face Outboard Take the measurement where the tape measure crosses the left edge of the right side tire’s tread. The measurement you have just taken is your vehicle’s track width. Simply put, it is the center to center distance of your tires. Overall width of axle assembly is determined 77.5" 77.5" Dual Tires by measuring the outer tire sidewall to outer tire sidewall. This measurement is taken at the top of the tire’s sidewall to avoid measuring the sidewall deflection. The Federal DOT (Department of Transportation) maximum allowed is 102". For a close approximation, clip the end of the tape measure on the left tire’s outside sidewall and pull the tape to the outer sidewall of the outer tire on the opposite side. If your measurement is close to 102", then a more precise method will be required. 80.5" 80.5" OUTSET Inboard MICHELIN X One Tires Truck Technical Specifications 17
