yeah, the combo of deep rake and deep dish meant that there is a fair bit of offset and cantilever force on the rear wheel hubs, not sure if its a good thing really and gotta keep eye on wheel bearings too .... and ... also in the back of my mind i keep thinking about the wheel studs, i think i better get heavy duty thicker ones sometime soon before they snap ...
I have often thought tho, isnt it the same thing with modern cars if your wheels are really wide but the outer rim is flush with the hub, and all the offset will be on the inside, there will still be that same cantilever force if there is camber etc?? ... in theory it seems to make sense, but im sure its better to have it this way??
