Good afternoon!

Can someone tell me the length of a Westy with the tire on the front?

Mine is currently being stored in the back of my dads barn, and I would like to bring it home if I have enough room for it in the garage.

This is what I'm working with

Hello, I get 174", bumper to bumper on a 71 without a tire on the front mount. Add another 6" (for tire width and mount setback Approx. 2 1/2")and your at 180" or 15'. So, if you have 15'+ a few inches you should be safe.
I hope that helps.
