Wow! Hall must've frozen over!

Adjust ITB MR2 from 2525 to 2430

I need to do my math, but assuming it's right, that's a major change.
Thankyou ITAC and CRB.

[Andy Bettencourt]

I read that math as this:

112*1.25*17+50 for mid-engine.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IMPROVED TOURING
Should the current Improved Touring wheel diameter restrictions be removed or otherwise adjusted? Please let us know your preferences. (Current restrictions on wheel widths would not change.)

[Greg Amy]

I'd be interested in hearing the basis/reason for that request. 15" wheels are probably the most-common, and thus relatively-least-expensive, size in aftermarket racing wheels one can find. You start going to something bigger and you're talking significantly less-available, significantly heavier, and significantly more expensive.

If anything, I'd say dump the width restrictions. But diameter?

Some cars may see benefit from smaller than stock wheels - ITB Suzuki Swift for example.

What was the website again to give member feedback?

Personally I see no performance impact from removing the restriction on wheel diameters. Different overall diameters to adjust gearing are already allowed, if the desired aspect ratio is available for that particular width. Bigger rims are heavier and slower, by all means allow them. Allow them for the same reason that big brake kits were allowed for solo/autocross competition. No performance advantage, potentially a performance disadvantage. But it increases the appeal to the tuner crowd who struggles to understand the arcane SCCA rules.

I would love to run a 13 on my 84 GTI.... Cheep, I have wheels, and I might be able to use 5th.....
