I think he only needs 7" wheels on the back because it just swings around. If they made RPF1s in 7.5", then he would have them all around. It's hard to beat RPF1s for lightness/dollar.Originally Posted by trickyrix
I know a guy selling one (http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2779251850.html)...but it's in Philly. And probably not what you're looking to pay.

"Its more fun to drive a slow car fast, than it is to drive a fast car slowly".
Less weight
Less rear grip
More sidewall flex
The biggest gain is a narrower rear track width. This is really important in autox as the rear of the car will always follow a tighter line than the front. So if you can narrow the rear track you have effectively made the whole car narrower.
The downside is that a narrower wheel will produce more parasitic drag when cornering.
