<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Verne_Frantz</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I believe running a narrower wheel allows you to run a lower pressure that leaves a longer contact patch and still plants the inside of the tire on the track rather than just the edges. Get's a little squirrly at the top end though.

Verne is correct again. Low air pressure is helped by a narrower 4-5&quot; rim to flatten the tire for max bite.
Those guys ran 28-29&quot; tires on the SB cars and 29-30&quot; on the BB cars for 6&quot; slicks.
Your combo Vinnie sounds like a SuperStock set up in the early 70's. Will definetly fill that wheel well up.
