I currently run a vintage Lola Atlantic in vintage events and have considerable difficulty getting decent rear tire temps. Like I can't! I know one solution is just to drive faster - but I need to order some new wheels and was wondering if 12" (instead of the original 14") would be better for me? Of course I would downsize the tire width as well. Current SCCA regs do not concern me (if there are any such restrictions).
Would welcome any helpful comments.
If I do go with the narrower wheels/ties should I -
- a - keep the same track by deleting 1" from the inner and the outer wheel halves
- b - keep the same OAW by deleting 2" from the inner half only
- c - same as -a- but move the hubs outboard 1" to keep the same OAW?
Stan? Bill? Paddy? Charlie? Anyone else? Thx.
