"Dually" s2000
Isn't the purpose of dually axles to increase the load bearing capability by doubling the amount of sidewall? It's real purpose is not to increase the amount of tread that meets the road.
If you want to add a fifth wheel hitch to the trunk so you can tow a travel trailer, then it sounds like a super idea!

why just two tires a corner? let's say you can go 40 mph around a corner, that equalls 10 mph a tire. imagine adding one more tire to each corner, instantly you can take it at 80 mph. if you have three tires a corner, voila 120 mph!
the math speaks for itself.

Looks like someone did it before in the F-1 class:

These are "duallies" (on the rear):
Though the "tandem" set-up is interesting, I don't think it could be used on a S without ruining the beautiful body of the car. Very interesting though. My reference to "dually" was a loose one, only to give people a general idea of what I meant, but I've since been convinced that single wide rims are the only way to go. Steering shouldn't be too harsh a problem for me, I drive a manual-steering rabbit anyway so I'm used to the extra forearm strength. That is if I ever do get wider wheels.

I don't think that's what the original poster meant by "duallies", but I could be mistaken. What is shown in your pic is a "tandem" set-up.

It still does what I think the original poster intended.
So why are you reading and commenting on it? Sure everyone take an easy shot and boost your ego. I hope you have a nice day because of it. Again thanks to those that did help. Mods feel free to delete this now as the only purpose it seems to serve anymore is for experts to get off on laughing at newbies.
