yeah, narrow should have you more forward bite. but wide will be more stable in the bumps. same thing as the sc10 with normal wheels and +3 offset wheels. I really liked the wide hangers on my rb6. I had no desire to tun rb5 parts on mine, plus it was so planted and so smooth that I never felt a need to change it. But then again, i dont rip it out of the corners, I roll in and roll out.

The way it was explained to me is that moving the wheels further in provides forward traction. Because more of the weight is directly over the wheels. Move the wheels out would then provide more side to side stability. And yes it would also affect roll centers.

Think of a long plank sitting on top of 2 paint cans. Now stand on the plank. You can move the cans the same distance from the centre anywhere under the plank and your weight on each can remains the same.
Moving the wheels forward or back would change the weight distribution, not moving them in or out.

You were misinformed. Narrow blocks = gain in side bite compared to wide blocks. Distance the wheels are from the chassis has no effect on weight over the wheel.

Nope, longer links lower your roll center, which decreases roll resistance (more roll)
It does, as I explained what you will get when you run the narrow hangers.
Wider track = more roll resistance = less traction/bite when cornering
Narrow track = more roll = more traction/bite when cornering
