I agree that side loading would seem much more significant than hp.
Really good slicks generate a lot of grip and should apply much more force Hp seems even less significant than excessive weight. Like trailers which can exceed their load rates |

QUOTE(brant @ Jun 30 2015, 11:25 PM)  I agree that side loading would seem much more significant than hp. Really good slicks generate a lot of grip and should apply much more force Hp seems even less significant than excessive weight. Like trailers which can exceed their load rates I do also agree that the HP would be less of an issue than side load but with increased HP you will have a heavier engine/suspension/braking/cooling and of course wider wheels to accommodate the increase in HP/weight/lateral G-forces. Initially I was thinking that I would use 15x8 up front and 15x10 or 12 in the rear. A good source told me that I would probably want 15x10 in front and 15x12 in the rear. I don't want to invest a bunch of money widening Fuchs if they are going to fail quickly and more importantly the danger element. I think I should probably just buy some custom rims. |
