In all seriousness...a tape measure will get you very close.

Take a string, tie it to a jackstand or other anchor. Starting at the front drivers side, take the string back to the rear tire, go around the back of the tire to the other side, around the back passenger side tire, then to another anchor at the front passenger side. The string should be near the mid point of the tire; not way up and not near the ground.

Now you can scoot the jackstands in until the string touches outward most edge of the front tire's sidewall.

Use a tape measure to measure from the string in to the tire on both sides.
