The '77 Midget is a square wheel arch car. The rear wheel openings are flat
at the top. On round wheel arch cars the rear wheel openings look like your
front wheel openings, and are round at the top.
If you have the option of converting to RWA, do it. You can't get much wider
tires if you keep the SWA openings. If competition is in your future, you
will need to have RWA or flared fenders.
(BTW, it took me a while to figure that one out before I bought my Midget.
The list only referred to them as SWA and RWA.)
