I lost my way for a while, but I'm going back to making my Spitfire a
racer. In doing so, I find myself studying the various wheels.
Particularly, the 15" Diamond wheels in either 8" or 10" width. Those
of you that race your Spitfires, what sort of width are you comfortable
with as a maximum and why?
I'm inclined to go with the 10" wheels simply because they are wider.
But, I'm concerned with the offset leverage that causes. As well as
being perhaps overkill. A 205/50-15 only has a width of 8.5 inches, so
an 8" wheel should do just fine. With a 10" wheel, I might not seat the
bead as well.
