This sounds Pretty neat, at least at first thought. On an
RWA Midget or even on the right bugeye.  14x5.5" chrome
wires on a nice soft low profile tire. You'd think the car
would have so much grip you'd have to pry it off the street.

But ..... not all ideas are good ideas so I ask what
downsides might be present? What rear axle ratio would
benefit most for a road car etc.   Any thoughts?
