What would be the advantage of having a rim that is wider than the tire??? What about the weight penalty???

It is of my belief that the reason for the narrower tire is so the setup fits better under the fenders. And steel wheels do weigh a lot. The widened steelie thing looks awesome, IMHO, but it isn't weight-saving setup or, arguably, a performance setup (ditto that with the hellaflush thing). *puts flame suit on*

no need for a flamesuit, no one who does the hellaflush thing would ever say it does anything but hurt performance and makes suspension components break faster.

Did you use spacers for the front to clear the brakes?
