Based on options in the TCDS, the permanent removal of wheel pants, and replacing 6.00 tires with 8.00 tires would be minor alterations to me. A&P logbook entry along with a weight and balance update are all I would require on my plane.

Agreed. No 337 required. I also cannot find any reference to a 2% weight change requiring a 337.

I talked with the FAA ASI at the airport last Sunday. To paraphrase him, a pilot certificate is not adequate to alter the aircraft and recalculate the weight and balance.

Glad the website is back up.
