1. We didn't leave well enough alone. We moved cars to classes with smaller maximum wheel sizes.
2. We demanded that they confirm to these arbitrary limits without any justification other than some absurd belief that allowing spec line differences would institute rules creep.

The rules were established to serve the purpose of the category. We are are beginning to reverse the causality and the category is beginning to, little by little, serve the purposes of the rules.
