my craftsman has 22 inch tires and my buddy has 24s and they fit under the fenders pretty well! had to trim a tiny bit but hardly none.

Itd be easier with a manual trans - its not just moving the transaxle, youd have to relocate the variable pulley and other pieces as well.

The bracket that mounts to the front of the transaxle would need to lowered, its possible to flip the variable pulley setup to bring the belt down, the shift levers would need to be extended - youd need alot of steel to make all the brackets.

Or you can just remount the fenders up higher- thats the easiest fix i can think of.
