Default Tires & Offset Swing Arms

Anyone know what is the rear largest tire that can fit with aftermarket offset swing arms --both width and height?

Currently, I am running 275-60-15 (28 inch). I know that 295-60-15 will fit (30 inch).

Anything over 28" or so tall will start to give you problems, are you talking stock fenders or modded ones?

Single offset or double offset?

Shorter spring?

Ebrake cables on top?

wheel diameter?

notched frame?
