Thanks Stefan,
I tinkered around with making the wheels larger but then they interfered
with the dumping bays. Adding a spring to the wheels also made them look
much larger and out of proportion with the rest of the car especially when I
pushed the dumping bays closer together to allow for the wheel clearance.
The curse of 6-wide!
