Minimal weight loss. Although it is rotational weight, I agree. The next problem is that the wheel will have a high negative offset which increase strain on the end of the axle and bearing.

most racecars only have a 3" back space wheel. I don’t believe there will be a problem with the bearing using a centered wheel. Also shorter axles are stonger.

Well, I guess it is centered if you have a 6 inch wide wheel. I agree that the shorter they are the stronger they are. Also agree that using a backspace that is in the center of the wheel is the strongest. ie. 10 ich wheel 5 inch backspace.

Have a good night!

Blackstang is using a 12" wheel with a 6" back spacing, i.e centered.
I was just stating the MOST racecars use a 3" back space wheel.
 
My wheels finally showed up this week. Just got the rear end back from getting painted. Should be on the ground by this weekend taking it up to Gilsbach to get the cage finished, welding the tubs, install the wing. i will post some pictures when it is on the ground.

Why did he take so much off the rear then????

THe quarters will probably need to be stretched because of tire growh.


How fast is the car?

from the molding down the wheel wells need to be opened up regardless if running bigger than a 28" tire. The 29.5 won't even go up under the car without hitting unless you do it.

And to answer your question, yes to fit a wider wheel and a bigger tire.
