pros/cons 13" wheels
I was looking at options in the 4x130 bolt pattern and I saw 13" wheels that were 7" wide for SCCA racing. So my wondering made me do some further wondering -- what advantages do 13" wheels provide? Do racers want an overall smaller diameter for some reason, or do they want larger sidewalls for some reason?

theory says traction goes down with 13", but it only needs different thinking to recover it, gearing may need rethinking, but for hillclimbs or autocross events, i know where i would be, they wont go on a ball joint beam with drop spindles without some work with offsets , but i know they go over stock calipers because ive done it. why not go for it and start a new trend.. |
13x7/8's are probably the most common race rim in the world - just about everyone in a 4 cylinder at every oval track in America runs them. I raced in one class that allowed 13x10's...Usually tire heights in slicks are 21-23".
