No the body is about 3 - 1/2 inches wide whereas the rear tires set on the wide track setting are almost 4 - 1/4 inches from outside edge to outside edge. So that works out to about 3/8 inches of tire protruding out of the body on each side.

The real challenge is fitting all the electronics inside the tiny body. I had to fight for every millimeter. The servo mounting and steering linkage all had to be mofified to fit within the body. The motor is mounted above the drive shaft and uses up the ****pit area. It's all packed in tight - barely enough room left anywhere for the bundles of wires.
