May not increase front track but atleast it's taking full advantage of the contact
patch of the tires being it's a 9.5" wide wheel.

Why becuase its running a 275? the difference between a 265 and 275 is minimal. Most people on here run too much tire. Nils runs 265s on his car and it destroying everyone in the Street Class ... he is even running times that are as fast as the guys in Modified that are running wider fenders and tires and have more HP then him.

Wasn't referring to 275 exactly. I'm saying I would rather have that wheel with a 255 or larger tire then a 8.5" wheel just cause it's concave. Of course Nils is destroying everyone in street class, he can drive and his car is sick especially now
with the 40/60 diff.

I agree but this tread is about the NTO3 and you can get all of that: 265 tire / 9.5" width / and the concave face .... all on stock fenders. That was my org. point.

#1 is incorrect.
There should be an effective 1.5" track increase jumping from 8" wide to 9.5" wide wheels, assuming offsets are identical.

I'm glad someone’s' paying attention. Everyone has to decide what their intention’s are with your car and pick your parts accordingly. I do a lot of track miles but no racing (racing being running competitively against a clock for position) so I want the car fast (for fun), easy to setup and reliable. I don't want to hassle with different offset wheels front and rear or any safety and reliability issues with running big spacers. Now if I were actually racing the car I might chose a different path. If I was concerned with looks then again a different path. My idea is to keep it simple in order to maximize seat time. Over the years I have spent a lot of time in the pits fixing problems and dealing with the wrong parts, think about what you want to do and make the right decision. These wheels that Robi sells are a good idea for the person who pounds out the miles at open track day and need the car to be as reliable as possible.

Thanks
