Default Are you tired?

I believe that I will need to buy new tires before our little trek to Tennessee. Looking at the options for the stock size I don't appear to have that many options, however if I go from a 170mm to a 180mm I get a lot more choices. The question is will a 180 fit? On the shaft side I have about 3/4" clearance on the other there is almost 2" According to my calculations a 180 is only about 1/2" wider. Your thoughts?
