Wheel fitment
Just basing this off of the VLN race car and an assumption on the width of the wheel. but is my math correct that this will fit depending on fender clearances? No, this isn't a "hellaflush" setup its meant to be an aggressive fitment set up. ex. widest tire+widest wheel=greater contact patch. This is an aggressive width, at least for what I'm used to being from the fwd crowd, not saying I'm gonna go with this but what are your guys' opinions.

This might be fine for the rear but I doubt it will work up front.

That would be perfect fit, but it will upset the balance and have a crazy push into the turns because lack of power and less grip up front.
