This is with the CRC wheel. The longer hub and Parma wheel may be too wide.

Killer crew up there.
But if you want Rick to show up you better include WCRC, he and the Blue team pretty much live there, and rarely show up at TQ to run on the rug.
Just a reminder...
The ROAR Region 12 indoor regional race is at TQ on Jan15 2012.
I'll be racing the Regionals. Any secret to keeping traction for a full 8 minutes?
Rumor is that the Nats will be at WCRC so will be doing some 1/12 there as well.
So if you remove the two shims on the diff side, will the rear end be narrow enough to be legal with CRC wheels, and if so, it would now be offset, right ?

It is barely too wide by .5mm per side or so. If you are racing where this is teched you will have to file the wheel down slightly which is pretty easy to do while you are truing tires.
I find that this spacing centers the axle even with an unequal number of shims on each side. I never change the axle so it is possible that each axle is slightly different and requires different shimming.

As far as I know Mike runs the brace.
