I'd like to get the 18" rim option, but I want them to tuck under the rear fenders. What rear end option should I choose to get them to tuck?
Thanks!

I have a fox axle with sn95 big brake "Cobra" Calipers. Its a bit wider with the big brake swap but still tucks the tires. I run the biggest 315mm tire you can get on a 17x10.5 wheel under there just for an example.

I have the Moser supplied FF complete kit rear end out in the garage in the crate. I’ll go measure it. I believe the narrower axle your seeing on the FF website is for pin drive (real knockoff) wheels ?

If everything seems under control, you’re just not going fast enough....

What SSNK said, the narrow axle is for the pin drive stuff. Regular or fox width is what you need.
