Hi krew,
wondering if anyone can point me to a resource, or chime in with their expertise, regarding the effect of wheel diameter on performance and handling dynamics.
I understand the effect of front wheel diameter on steering speed and ability to take bumps...but Im curious about the effects of rear wheel diameter.
It seems curious to me that the K1 and 16v RS had a 17" front and an 18" rear rather than 17" at both ends. what was the reason for this?
