Clay,

First, that Avanti looks GREAT sitting on that red trailer!!

On to the business at hand; if the roll pan will work with the trailer hitch, that's the way I'd go. It fits better with the other custom parts you're using.

For the wheels; unless you're going to tub the bed, you won't find too many wheels that'll fill those big openings and not be too wide. If you want, I'll send you a set of these:

All four tires and wheels are the same size. The wheels measure out at about 23". With the tires mounted, they're as tall as the 23" Pegasus Chrome T's that I'm using on my truck, but they're only 0.350" wide. They fit up under the rear fenders without tubbing the bed. They also come with disc brakes for all four wheels. Let me know if you want them and I'll drop them in the mail.

Yes, you'll have to to tub the bed to get the Pegasus 23" Chrome T's to fit...unless you narrow them...

Later,

Thes are the rims and tires I will be using on both the truck and trailer. Nice choice on wheels. Love the paint job too. Seeing yours makes me want to take the time to work on mine.

Jurg, yer lil truck an trailer came out KILLER!!! The 2 tone paint job is nice an smooth, an the wood in the bed makes a great contrast of color. It ALL looks good!. But.... Whacha takin to the Flats? It looks like it might need somethin else to be completely done.Maybe a racer on the trailer? Either way, racer or no, it came out GREAT!!!!
