larger tires won't fit in a lot of the chassis' that are out there, it's not such a great plan if the bodies have to be stretched and messed with just to clear tires, i've heard about the headaches and they haven't decided on 10's or 11's yet

I think that you are correct about the tires and they do go on fairly easy they fit the Dodge and Fords with out any major changes but there will be changes to the Chev that are minor.

I am curious you can make the wider tire fit for sure but when they mandate the offset that kind of takes the ease out of it doesn't it? So if your track width doesn't meet the rules with the ruled offset you will need to lengthen or shorten your whole rearend?
How much money are you going to have to spend in front end parts to get all of your front end geometry and scrub radius correct with the required offset? I have to think that SS33 would have a pretty good idea as to where the frame ends up to the side of the tire as well as the tinwork since he did work at McColls for a while. I just can't seem to see how this isn't going to price even more guys out of racing these things

Mike McColl will have to install trap doors in his new car's floor so the drivers can stick their feet out to help stop them in the corner. The car's didn't have enough brakes for the tires in the past, so bigger faster tires should make things really interesting!
