There is an exception in the rule book for Metric wheels. If the exception is 
there for an oddball size (like metric) then I dont see why it wouldnt apply to 
a 6.6" wide wheel ? Where did the Toyota engineers have their heads when this 
was thought up? I think they were some place where the sun dont 
shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This implies that in stock classes you can simply put narrower
wheels on a car and it remains stock.  The way I read the rules,
you must have identically sized wheels, with track increased by
no more than 1/4" per wheel.  Anything other than that, and
you're pushed into SP.  There's the obvious exception for the
Mini, but I don't see anything about this.  Can you elaborate?
