I plan on extending the front suspension a few inches outward from stock. This is so I can run a wider tire and a rim with some forward spacing. This is inpart, to reduce the horrid scrub radius that some stock on a legends car. If you want to have good , tight cornering, then the centerline of the wheel needs to be near inline with the ball joints or king pins on the knuckle.
This is why near all big race cars on a road course have rims that look nearly flat.
However, until I get around to playing with the suspension, I want to toss a light set of rims on. With any luck, a tire/rim weight of 18lbs + is what I am aiming for.
Hell, our cars are only 2000 lbs soaking wet. A mini cooper is more than that. I think on a paved track, they will hold up.
