Im running 17" wheels with 4.75" bs, but here is a picture. The end is not much wider than the arm. This is at full lock showing 1" clear between wheel and tie rod end. Hope this helps.

Send them a PM.....they are in New York, so there is probably no one in the office now. I am sure they will answer tomorrow.
