Question, how wide did you make your rear wheels? I've heard that 12" is a good width, but what worked for you?

There is a debate but the tires say a 12” wide wheel on the side wall I have seen photos of the real car with 15” and 12” I think the myth is the car is 9’ wide but I don’t know where they are getting that measurement from their is a sign that has been on the internet forever which has the measurements posted in metric if you transferred that 2 inches it gives you all the information you need and that information is correct I have seen the car in person and took 100s of measurements I was with it for a few hours with a camera and tape measure I have 12” on my car on purpose I pain to tag mine and drive it on the street one pic looks like 12” wheels the other looks like 15” wheels I know they used 15” for sure on some but the pic on the flatbed that car is not 9’ wide because I have a flatbed just like that truck and the one pic i think they shaved the tread off the rear tires even

It sure looks sweet in my garage
