It will be an 9x18 inch rim and the tire is 12,5x18 inch. The complete tire height is then around 40 inch.

The Wheelbase is around 104 inches.

Painted the rims and tested the look with all tires on.
Air shock mounts are now also done.

I have a question. I am new to this sport and noticed your axles are linked to a single point. What is going to keep it from articulating?

It is called a one link. Probably a lot more information than you want here:
