In Reply to: R20 Rims on a FFPW - Clearance Issues? posted by RSBuc in Toronto on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 at 13:15:57 :
the T137 series (aka FFPWs) was engineered to
handle the mass of the 16in wheel and tire assembly when you increase to 20dia you then
move the heavy component of the wheel (and the heavy bead component of the tire) out from 8in to 10in (radius) and then also the heavy tread portion of the tire from 18 to 20 inch or so
open old physics book & see what you have done as things increase on the square of the radius -besides you would also be increasing
the unsprung weight which is no - no 1 thru
10
