Question... if I go with a 60" wide TD it will extend over the wheels but it will be above the wheels so it shouldn't be an issue changing the tires but then there might be an issue with the tires being under the TD instead of on the outside. should I go with a longer axle to put the tires outside of the TD? I suppose I could mount some type of plate above the tire on the TD to deflect any road stuff or blown tire.

I personaly like the look of the wheels outside under gaurds but that's just me .I guess it's up to you what look you like

My wheels are under my camper body. I made internal wheel wells that rise above floor level. On the exterior portion of the wheel wells I have a bunch of aluminum sheeting, so I made wheel guards out of aluminum. On the wheel well rise it is pretty simple, just measure the amount of maximum potential rise from the axle top to the frame, in my case I think it was like 2.5". While my floor (way overbuilt) is 2.5" high, I added in another 1.5" for the wheel well in case the next set of tires is slightly different than the stock ones.

I also added in skirts to reduce the look of the trailer height, but even with these, it isn't a big problem changing the tires. If I jack up using the axle then I have to tilt the tire to remove it. If I raise from the frame, then it pulls right off. I use the axle to lift.
