Well...I guess I will continue to use my hand

That's the story of your life isn't it Fred?

Hey Bird

Just remember...in a storm any port will do...

I'll take your word for it. Word on the street is that you're the Port Authority.

Exactly... Just because they say have washed Raptors before does not mean it will fit. I knew my Raptor is wider than a stock Raptor and even told him the exact width at the tires. So when in doubt whip the tape measure out...

Greg, how much wider is yours? Are you running 10's?

Greg, how much wider is yours? Are you running 10's?

No.. -12mm which makes the wheel width right at 96"

Umm, I think we're talking about two different things or the same thing a different way. By 10's I meant 10 inch wide wheels, but I guess that wouldn't matter because of the offset. So, by 12 mm is that your offset or how far the wheel face sticks out from the fender?

Yes, i have 17x10 wheels..
The tires stick out 2.5-3 inches..

I use touchless automated car washes all the time. I have yet to have a problem fitting or getting good results, but I am running stock tires and wheels and with my paint coating I had done a while back, dirt just falls right off anyway.

Sorry to hear about that Greg. I had a similar experience with my GT500 a few years ago...those cars I only get done by hand, but my raptor is just my daily construction truck for me...
