The bolt pattern is 5x4.5"

The only benefit is less weight and rolling resistance.

Lighter, less rotating mass. Every pound i multiplied by 8 as it spins. Its all about helping wieght transfer. Less wieght on the front of the car helps get the nose up more on launches...... thats teh best i can discribe it.

Kyle, you did a really good job describing everything...

also the taller the skinnie, the better a tree you can make, is simply because it will allow you to roll the car out more...

but like stated... lighter, weight transfer and everything else!
