Default best 12.3wb body for big tires?

i stuck a set of the proline 1.9 boggers on my 10.2 and the tires are huge lol. is there a body that will look good and wont require a lot of trimming to fit those tires while keeping the body low?
i have my eye on the power wagon.

I could see the Power Wagon working well with the fenders cut off.

Maybe the Proline Ambush could work too since it is pinched in the front and rear.

deadbolt or rubicon g6 bodies would work fine, are designed for slightly shorter wheelsbase at 12 inches but are both comp cut and dovetailed. I like the power wagon without fenders idea also.

I think your bigger concern might be the potential reduction in steering angle because the tires rub the lower links when turned. I guess you could run a lot of offset but then your going to be trimming even more body.

Here is the Ambush at full flex with Proline Hyraxes.

Fyi, flickr sucks. I’m on vacation and all I have is my phone. The mobil flickr app seems to think you shouldn’t need bbc if you are on a mobil device so all you get is the link.

RC4Wd's new Taco body, fairly narrow and if you're runnin AR60s they just might clear the body depending on how you set it up of course.
