Right it would just be static castor, I feel like thats not right, but once again im not entirely sure. I feel like it shouldnt really change the wheelbase, however it would change the tire slip angle. It would make the tire lean(give it castor), which yes would change the wheelbase slightly, and also put the rear tire on an angle. So im not sure, I feel like there isnt a huge data base of information about this specific subject.
