Looking for info on AP1 s2000 front wheel size. Running 17X9" rear. Want 7" or 8" X17 front. Do not know if an 8" will induce too much oversteer.?????
Any knowledge out there? Solo 11 or?

I guess reduce weight or diet won't add any Horsepower. However it will affect your power to weight ratio in a positive way.

I don't think you could feel the effect of 1 hp., since it would be less than a 0.5% gain

Lose weight, get lighter wheels
