Assuming mini tubs, what are the limits of the body and the AME frame (their off the shelf Tri5 chassis) for rear tire width? Is anybody running something like a 345/40-19? If that won't work, what would be required to make it work? If 345 is out of the question then what is the biggest you can run?

I'm at the very beginning of my project getting ready to commission a rendering. I want to make sure I'm in the ballpark with what tire size the rendering uses so I'm not disappointed when the thing comes to life down the road...

The look of this wheel/tire (size, not style) and chassis combo is about perfect but I can't for the life of me track down any info on it:

Give 'em a call. Guarantee they'd be happy to talk to you about their project. Great guys to start your project.

Yep, just call AME. They've made a ton of them and they do not do anything halfway so they'll know exactly what will fit.
