Re: [T3] Tucking wheels

<x-flowed>Thorhild,
Thanks. I knew that lowering tucked the tops but I am trying to avoid 
the slanting of the wheels that you see on a lot of bugs. When you bent 
out the rear fenders, did your wheels fit inside the wells? So if you 
lowered it a little they went into the wells?
Also, any info on tucking in the front wheels? With the fronts on they 
stick out even more since the nose narrows slightly. Do have any pics I 
can see of your wheels fitting in?
Does anybody have any other suggestions?
Ryan
