Wheel Size Question

southpaw32 · 10/18/10, 11:54 AM

New to midget racing.

Wanted to get an idea of wheels size for a dirt midget (06' Stealth Wide Body).

I know there 13". But what are the typical width's and offsets all around?

Thanks

Most sanctioning bodies require specific widths, any offset. 10" RR and 8" on the other 3 corners is most common. Check the rules for the group you intend to race with. Some teams use 7" fronts because they are lighter, even though the rules allow 8".
LF 3 backspace; RF 3 and 4 backspace; LR 3 backspace; RR 0, 1, 2, 3, backspace. You will use the alternate backspacing for chassis tuning.
