Blimey that is going to be wide! You would struggle around some maltese roads!
I'm thinking I would have problems with 12.5" wide tyres, some of the roads I can barely fit down with my 31x10.5s!

I can never quite get my head round the bushwhacker arches. Just never seem to look right in my eyes.

Don't bother with the bushwhackers. Next time your out with the Wilts lads you will lose them.
