At 190mms it looks fine so if you go with the F104v2 or another 180mm car and widen it to 190mm with the R-Sector kit it will retain its scale looks (If your concerned with that). Theoretically the wider car would have the advantage in handling so some people would want to build the car to the max possible to get any advantage they could. But from 180mm to 200mm all on rubber tires the cars are going to be so close it is mostly going to come down to driver and setup

Ahh I see. I'm very real anal about the whole scale thing,has to look as real as possible. I guess I'll even live with the track as it is if it looks off.
I did see the R-sector kit and maybe that's what I'll go with instead of the F103.
