    Hypothetical (VERY) question: So which is the correct option?

    1. Allow cars moving from ITA to ITB to run with 7" wheels at their B weight as established by the specification process, or...

    2. Allow that subgroup of cars to run 7" wheels but with a weight penalty to account for the increased performance of the wider wheels, or...

    3. Allow everyone to run 7" wheels with no weight penalty, or...

    4. Allow everyone to run 7" wheels with more weight, or...

    5. Throw up our arms and let everyone run anything that will fit under stock fenders

    Did I forget any options?

    Whoops. Sorry, yeah - I should have prefaced that with, "If we were to change the rule..."

    To be honest, I got tired of reading about halfway thru page 2. I personally would lean towards the shock rule mentality and go with option 5. As long as it is the same bolt pattern and fits under the stock fenders it's legal.

    I'm honestly not sure if an ITB car would benefit from say 9" rims. Of course with DOT rubber!

    Let's face it the fast guys would still be fast and the guys willing to spend money would still spend money and the cheap guys could run what ever rubber they could find. Remeber in IT there is no guarantee of competiveness

    doesn't mean we know what we're doing!
