Lol, I might need to make that brace standard issue Craig.. only works in tension but!!

I am going to look for some modern wheels as I will need an 11" rear and 9" front wheel, and yeah the increase in body width has two benefits 1. allows for the use of the std rear cradle and front strut assembly without the need to modify 2. will give some room for a bit of dish on the rear mainly; the front wheels will be very similar in offset to the original wheels - by my calcs based on my CAD design is should be able to get a maximum of 100mm dish on the rear wheels with the wider body and an additional 3" per side in the cabin area for a bit more comfort and roomyness..

Just did some quick searching last night and it looks like I may need to go to 18's to get the tyre sizing I am after as there is only one 295x35x17 left that I can find and I don't know if Khumo intend to release that size in their new range of KU36's..
