I just received your request for a measurement , so I stepped out to get it and
was surprised that we we having a rain storm with the sun shining . To my
surprise I had left the top down on my Miata . So if I hadn't read the oletruck
list , my car would have been totally ruined. Just goes to show you good
things happen from reading this list....Oh ! by the way the measurement outside
to outside on my 56- 3200 TF is 75"over a set of 255 - R 70 -15 Hoosiers . And
they just barely clear the fenders...
Hope this helps and thanks again for saving my car...:-)
