I saw on another post that the wheels would constitute the edge of the frame perimeter. Is this the case?

One observation not noted yet that you may or may not be able to address. You want to design your frame so that it is LESS than 120 inches. Things happen, parts don't fit perfectly or aren't cut perfectly and so on, and if you design for 30x30, you might find the real world makes it 30.5 x 30.25 and now you are 1.5 inches over the limit. This maybe is less of an issue since we've switched to the perimeter limit vs. the 28"x38" that was common before where you had to fit inside a sizing box, but it is still worth designing for ~118.5" max.
