Tomguy,

I can see using a wheel with a different wheel offset affecting the camber. I don't see where a larger dia tire would effect the relationship between the axle and the chassis. Since the diff is attached to the body/frame of the car the only way to affect camber, that I am aware of, would to change the springs or use a wheel with a different offset. Changing the dia of the tire would only serve to change the distance from the alxe to the road and change the clearance within the wheel well & openings.

What I can see is if there is a significant difference in the weight of the tires, handling may be affected because of the difference in un-sprung weight.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
