I have little to no experience with wheel fitment on the Box, but I don't think I need to. Simple physics tells me that your car might work "perfect" in a straight line, but the moment you make any kind of turn at speed, that thing is riding on rim.

Just my $.02, but there's no way that thing is "perfect". I'm with Danger on this one.
Not to fan the flames any further, but there appears to be about a 25mm gap between the tire wall and the lip of the wheel .
