This seemed to be the sweet spot. I know its not ideal if you want to run super small tires. You can run them real small but the tires have a point at which they can get too small and effect the performance of the car. I wanted to stay away from that. I will see if i can get them a little lower without a big sacrifice.
Thanks Jason. Obviously I wouldn't want any negative impact to the performance of the car. Did you see a performance difference with the axle height between an asphalt car versus a carpet car?
For reference, I'm running GQ tires which do not use the large wheel like the Jaco Prisms or Parma Pro-38s. I still have quite a bit of tire left when they're between 1.6" and 1.7".
