I think that pin drive adapters might add a total of 3/4" to the overall width on some setups. Overall as long as suspension and body work clears I think most chassis will end up in this general area. I have no adapters on my rear uprights, but my bodywork measures 80" inside lip to lip, and I wanted to fill the wheel opening without rubbing.
I will take some accurate measurements and see exactly what my track is.
As you said let everyone decide for themselves, whatever works.

This confirms the original dimensions of the RCR 40, nice to hear.
Iīm in the process of making my own flares now and realised of you go to close with the flare radius towards the top outside of the wheel it touchs the flare arc by moving in at app 10h and 14 h ( donīt know how to express it otherwise) so i need roughly a distance of 3/4 of an Inch from the vertical upright out line of the tire towards the top inner flare arc.
( will show pictures as soon i have the first mockup designs ready)
