QUOTE In theory, if there is room now, there would be room on the track. A tire doesn't flex at the top afterall, but at the bottom when its under cornering loads. Sorry, this is not true. Not only does the tire deflect all the way around (though less farthest from the ground), the place on the 914 inner fender that sticks out the most is only about 2/3 of the way up. Shorter and stiffer sidewalls and the proper rim width will reduce the amount of the flex. |
