Question:

Im considering changing wheel size from 13inch to 14inch on my jayco TT What is minimum space between tires and wheel well?

That really depends on your suspension setup and how much travel the suspension has. Basically if you go to a 14 inch wheel there will be about 1 inch less room between the tire and the fender well and at most an increase in width of 45 millimeters.

Without knowing more about your setup the best advice I can give you would be to measure what clearances you currently have with the info I just said in mind and determine if you think you have enough clearance.

Going to a larger wheel will require you know the bolt pattern of your wheels as well. Check out the FAQ article I attached on how to determine this for you to check out as well.

I wish I could be more helpful.
