rim size

#1 Post by 427belair » Wed Nov 14, 2007 6:27 pm

I'm switching to a 28x11.5 tire for next year and was wondering if a 15x10" or 15x12" rim would be better. Ive noticed that a lot of the 10.5 guys run 12" rims and dont really know why. Thanks Jason

From what I have heard talking to the 10.5 guys is the 12" rim with
10.5" tire gives more contact surface to the track by spreading the tire
out a bit more instead of bowing it in.
