Your right Dan per wheel arch/ wheel combo- too small or too big for the wheel opening not to mention tires up front clearing the body due the lower wheel arch 'curl ins' at the bottom of the wheel arch which is why most run a smaller tire. Those goofy curl in areas while they may look good on a static display car they simply get in the way in the real world...hence you'll generally see a smaller tire up front on replicas just to clear that area...except on mine as I've 'corrected' that problem. The rear wheel arch has the same effect but if you choose your wheel tire combo just right it's not an issue. Both my front and rear tire combo's sit just approx an inch or below the wheel lip (as I'll show in upcoming pics) and fill the wheelwells perfectly.
Of the all of 'one' perhaps two 89 replicas in the world that's their footage of them actually driving (not trailered) the glossy one looks like a 4x4 when on the road. Where as someone mentioned there's 'several' built and driving on the street I highly doubt that.

As for the Bumbler no I won't be building that, in my opinion it exceeds the limits on good taste and falls in the category of a cartoon car that's gone through the shedder.
