Can I use 14 inch wheels in H stock AutoX?

Thanks for the info guys! So it looks like 14X5.5 with +30 to +40 offset will work. Any recommendations on tire pressures?

I'd start in the high 30's, say 38 front and rear and adjust from there.

the guys over in HS here run higher than 40 on Hooziers. One dude ran even higher in the rear, about 50+ if I'm not mistaken.

I put higher pressure in Garm's rear tires (higher than what he normally runs), and coached him a tad, and he dropped a good amount in some autoX runs. Total of almost 2 seconds on sub 50 sec course.

Be very careful on R-Compound tires with stock struts and shocks, these tire grip so well they can create bicycling on tighter auto-x courses. Work up to your limits until you are ready for suspension upgrades and you will be much happier in the long run. Also a very good way of checking for proper tire pressure is to put a couple 1"-2" long lines of white shoe polish on the tire shoulders. It's very easy, if your scrubbing the entire line off, then up your pressure, if your not even touching these lines, lower your pressure, it's that simple. Oh and some crash bolts for negative camber in the front suspension from Micro Image, will be a huge improvement!

Can you explain what you mean by bicycling? Thanks
