Hi everyone, I have a question for you racers about rim widths and sidewalls.
Anyway, does the sidewall width get smaller if You run wider rims?
Right now I have ET Streets 30x 13.5-15 on a 10 inch rim, on a 1969 Dodge dart, with the leaf springs moved into the frame rails, and aftermarket wheel tubs installed.
Everything clears fine when sitting still.
There is about 1/2 and inch to 3/4 of an inch clearance both sides of the tire.
If I go to a wider wheel will the sidewalls be LESS bulged out?
I am asking because I really don't have the cash, to buy wider wheels and find out, it makes no difference. Plus right now, I cant drive the car, without getting a little rubbing of the tire on the inner wheel tub, on the left side. Which scares me to think what could happen!
Thanks in advance everyone.
