Its hard to tell, it may help with tire spin off the line and calm the launch down. Only thing to do is try it and see if the car like it. Been at the track much lately?

I ran the 28x 10.5W MT on a 10" wheel, then switched to 29x 12 GY on a 12" wide wheel.

My car (5 speed) the 29" GY hooked much better.

On a good track they (the GY) will dead hook, that can be a problem for a clutch car.
Some wheel speed (spin) is actually needed or things will break and/or you will be driving thru the clutch.

Yes, 4.10 is good...
4.56 just a little better, but probably NOT a big deal.
