Started swapping on the new tires. They fit awesome and will only need a little clearancing if the body to not rub. Will post some outside pictures soon.
Got them fully installed and molded the body. Noel, I ended up doing the two humps instead of stretching the whole body. I couldn't see getting a decent fit for the upper tub and thought the seat pan would fit goofy if I did more than just the 2 humps. Although I also only have 24" tires so didn't need a ton. You can see the side picture the two humps above the tires.
Check out a picture I posted under Gene Boyd. I made a set of bead lock rims. I cut 12 rings and welded six to wheels. Then drill and taped rims, drilled clearance holes. A LOT of work.
I can say so far they ride awesome. And we have only got a couple snow storms but in the deeper ditch snow they really tear through it. Much better than my old rawhides did at least.
They do swim some, not as fast as the rawhide though. There have been a few threads recently on how to improve your tires swimming abilities. I plan to try some of these tricks this summer. Water is a little hard right now in WI
