Hoosier Slicks And Rim Width

Locomotion said
It would increase the section width, but most classs racers put 9" slicks on 10" rims when possible. It allows more airpressure while still maintaining a good "footprint" and helps the sidewalls live longer due to less wrinkling. Just like any other combo, gotta test to see what pressure works best for you.

I have Hoosier lightweight 9" radial slicks on 10" Holeshot wheels.

im confused... you buy a tires that has a given section width (what rim they use i dont know) and by using the min rim width it will be wider than there section width?

wouldn't a narrower rim suck the sidewalls in?

first set of slicks so this is a new learning curve...

also was planning on screwing the bead in... slants seem to like 10-14psi tire pressure
