After seeing a couple cars at this years WOS running motorcycle tires, I have had a hard time getting this out of my head. Clearly my staggered 6.5"/8" wheels with their corresponding 205/235 tires, while great on the street/track, are NOT optimal for the salt.
So I contacted my buddy who can narrow a set of Porsche wheels for me in hopes of running 17" motorcycle tires and he mentioned that motorcycles use a different bead seat on the wheels/tires.
Huh?? So how did those of you that ran the motorcycle tires accomplish this on stock rims??
I've got a set of base model Boxster twist wheels that have the perfect offset to the outer rim lip that could be narrowed easily but why bother if tires won't safely mount. . .
