Greetings,
I am getting a 2008 mp3 400.

** What would be the simplest conversion, if even possible to convert the 2 - 12" stock front wheels to 2 - 13" front wheels?

I don't know what complications the brakes and suspension would introduce; but after considering owning a MP3 for a decade, I know this Site is the MP3 world brain-center.

I am 300 lbs (heavy bones and 6' tall; and thought this conversion, mimicking MP3 engineering in 2016, would be beneficial for my braking and handling.
