1976 Vega Drag car weight reduction and small tires? Maybe…?
I spend some time with my beloved race car. JP’s Vette gets a few upgrades.

In a Hoosier, W is "wide", and it's also a stiff sidewall.

You need LESS backspacing to run those small tires *probably around 3.5"). That would give you more dish in the front like your other wheels. No one ever refers to the "front-spacing" the other term is offset, which represents the measurement from the center line of the wheel to the face area that snugs up against your hubs. Negative offset is what you'd want there, and a LOT of it.

The small tires definitely look out of place! What kind of battery did JP put in the Vette?

It’s some sort of mid level lithium battery. It’s only 22 lbs. I can try and get a link from him if you’d like.
