What kind of problems might I have running a wheel spacer that wide?

The wheels would be relying strictly on the lugs for locating.

Or I wonder if I could get a spacer built that has a hub nub that sticks out to act as a wheel pilot.



BTW not sure where this topic would go...

Are you planning 335's all around, or just in back?


No just the rear.
For a few reasons. #1 I'm using first gear alot more than I used to. 3.06X3.42=alot of torque.
So the extra tread width will help.
#2 Pro Solo's. Folks who haven't done one don't realize how fun this can be.
And the extra width along with sidewall flex will help the launch.
#3 Extra sidewall flex from being mounted on an 11" wheel. Will help the launch, help put power down on course, and have a feeling the rear will be a bit more predictable.

My light wheel purchase includes buying a set of 18x12's for the new V710 315/18's. And then later buy another set of 17x11's for the rear W/335/17's

Temps are not a concern in back for obvious reasons (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Up front ANY thing over a 315 is too big. I'm gonna build some of the relective blankets to keep em'warm.
