Re: My Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack

The rear tires are 11.125" wide on 10" rims. It looks like I won't have to do as extensive of frame modifications as I was mentally preparing myself for. I can get by with removing the lip of the top hat frame, and that'll probably give me adequate clearance for the tires. I'm going to run a triangulated 4 link, so there really won't be any side-to-side movement. All I'll have to factor in is the movement when it is articulating, like when entering a steep driveway, etc. The other thing I'll be acutely aware of while building this is what it will take to get a rear tire off in the event of a flat, as the quarters suck up so much of the profile of the tire. Anyway, motivation is high being able to see it with the wheels and tires!
