Thank you both for the input. My preference would be to run an outboard setup for the advantages 68Stepbed mentioned. Having those coils further from the pivot point should add more stability, allow it to rotate less, and make their work easier. Just wanted to know if I was backing myself into a corner if I went with 12" wheels. Guess I'll measure today and see what type of offset I'd need and space I'd have left with a 12 wheel.

I'll have the tool soon to actually have a tire mounted under there and see what space I have.
