Todd, here's the deal: The only part of the ABC kit are the tubs themselves. I notched the frame rails on my chassis before the frame kit was available. When I did mine I went 1.5" per side instead of the 2" that Tony's kit calls for. Therefore the difference 295 to 315. I'm pretty sure I could fit 305's as it is, but went with the tires (used) for now as I got a great deal on them.
So the inner wheel tubs actually are over the frame rails about 1/2". So if someday I ever to another chassis, I could go narrower on the rails and get to the 315.
