[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 9390725, member: 6794"] :beer: No problem, Tom. Sure it's all about money...or lack of it in my case. I've always got a kick out of the bigger is better arguement, especially the big honking rims with stock drum brakes..... Moving on. We had a great physics professor in college, so we had all these discussions in various classes. I'll tell y'all about Dr. Ransom and the slinky in the hall one afternoon long after classes had ended some day. Great guy. When I ran formula fords we ran 13X5.5 wheels all 4 corners, but used a cantilevered rear tire that put 10 inches on the ground [B][I]22.5 x 7.2-13 C2500 FF 5.5"rim 9.8" tread width[/I][/B] . Whole combo weighted around 12 -14 lbs. and the cars would stop and turn on a dime. Note even the Formula 2000's use 13x6 F and 13X8's R ... If I could find a 10' rotor that was about 2 inches thick, that is what I would use with a 14 " rim. [/QUOTE]
