Hi Paul. he overall width is 1270mm including 50mm (25mm each side) 4" to 100mm wheel adaptors. when I looked at building this the one thing that I wanted was to keep it compacted but also to look good. I think I have achieved that just need to come up with a colour that will suit it. then ask Marcus to spray it
