MrMatt, it looks like you have a great start on a one-of-a-kind camping trailer.
Do you intend to have a hatchlid and a galley?
If those are 8 inch wheels and tires, you might want to consider going with 12 inchers, to better handle the weight and wear and tear on those wheel bearings, when screaming down the interstate at 70 mph. HF has them and will fit the same bolt pattern.
Continue to post pics, we'll be looking for them.

This might help determine if a 12 incher will fit below your fender, but don't forget to take into account, the distance will be closer when the weight of the tear is on the tire and you hit a bump.......... Ouch. Check it out.
Roly, and thanks for the cudos.

(Ah yes, Colo Springs, Bijou Street, I remember it well, back in 1956, during my 2 year hitch in Fort Carson..........Ugh. Love the city and the area though.)
