I fear your Hard-Ox will get a wider ass.

Not a bad thing in itself, a wider wheelbase makes a better controlable machine.

But if you want to use it like that, narrower wheels?

It dont look like it, but its only 20mm too wide, so i might be able to chop the wheel hubs down and shorten the axel.

Customizing hubs, with a decent lathe no prob.

But as I wrote earlier, and especialy with the length in mind and a painfull horizontal disk in front, a wider wheelbase isn't a bad idea.
