I urge anybody with questions about mega-wide wheels to read 'how to modify
your mini' by good old whatisname, the famous A series engine tuner.
He has a section in there w/ diagrams and physics on what it does to
the car when you widen the wheels. It can seriusoly stress the susp/steering
components because it moves the center os stress...or something like that.
read the book....it's a LOT better than relying on my memory.
