Right Wheel Width?

griffithracing · 5/4/08, 11:15 AM

Do I want a 16,17 or 18? Will I want a 17 for the DT3 since it's a 17" tread width and an 18" for open tires?

thanks for any help

Out here in California the team I work for runs a 18" wide wheel with the DT 3 and it works fine,I know a lot of other teams run the 18" as well.
Since you usually race on tracks that are drier than what we race on a 17" might be a better choice,but if you already have 18" wheels go ahead and use them as they should be fine.
