Hi Douglas, Not sure if you got final answer on wheels but mine for the ak are : 10" BY 15" rear 8" by 15 front 4.5 " offset on front and rear. ( inside ) this is measuring from mounting face to outside of rim ( not bead ) offset to the bead is 4" Jerry

Thanks Douglas, Your build is coming along nicely... are you making panels from scratch or a few 'off the shelf' from AK. I like the picture of the 'shrink wrapped' body ...... Jerry

I have changed my mind re water pump. It did bulge way too far into cabin and comprimised my pulley arrangement. I have now managed to fit the dry sump pump using the supplied brackets. But had to move it quite a lot rearwards to stop it fouling the bulkhead ! I was going to use a take off...
