If it's any help my old Phoenix was actually a striker underneath, so windscreen 'A' cut off and brackets added for the bonnet front hinge frame

Front outside of tyre to outside 145cm.
Rear outside to outside 153cm.
This is an STM body, IRS chassis, square tube.
Wheels are 14inch Compomotives 6inch wide, these are standard ford offset.
Any wider at the rear would be a problem. The front could probably handle an extra cm, although not sure about the lock for that.
