Larger wheels have less sidewall, so more stability at high speeds plus better handling.

So, as an example, I run 17” beadlocks at the track, but run 20” 1LE wheels with R888Rs on the street since I’d rather have the handling and high speed stability. Hope that helps.

Yes it does. Thanks for explaining this
