I am building a 2D wireframe calculator for a front suspension in CAD, and I need some measurements to make a rough cross sectional profile of the tires mounted to the rim. Unfortunately I don't have access to the physical tire/wheel combos I need and do not have the funds or time to purchase them. I'm hoping someone running 33x10.5x15 yok's of bfg's mounted on a 15x4 wheel would be willing to help me out. All you will need is a long straight edge, a few squares and a ruler.

It would be ideal if someone can give the tire width at 1" increments moving from the lip of the rim out the to crown of the tire, as well as the tread height in 1" increments from the peak of the crown to the edge of the tread as you move out from from the tread centerline.

I'm not going to worry about contact patch/tread deformation at this point so that's all I would need. I can post a picture of what i'm looking for if my explanation doesn't make sence.
