Hey mr praiano, quick question: So i've been seeing some testing on different wheels. Size, rims wide v normal, offset wide v normal.
I keep seeing that the only real difference is a small PP gain from going up in wheel size, but rim width? No difference. Offset? No difference. In PP or in real life performance in the testing i've seen and what testing i've done anyway.

Also, the really curious one: WIDE BODY. Why? Seems every car you build you have wide body on. Wide body increases drag so decreases top speed but just barely.

Is this indeed just cosmetic or do you know something that no one else knows?

*Love the patreon btw. you guys got it more and more organized and easy to use. To all who are on the fence? It's so worth 5 fn dollars a month bro.
When you install the wide body option only , it's a lost of PP due to increase aerodynamic coefficient (Cx) of the vehicle ... i suppose.
Offset add more grip because the larger width of the car allow more weight transfer on the side = + rotational G (Grip)... i suppose.
Wide rims don't seems to do a lot of things.
Rims size and height of the tire give differents results. Sometime a low tires give more PP , sometime the higher tire with small rim give more PP......
 
Mazda Roadster S ND '15 - 700PP - Racing Soft Tires - AllTrack - SWAP - 1.40

Wide body
Rims size 18" - Rim Width Wide - Offset Wide

Front B - Side B - Rear A - Wing Custom

Swap engine LT1-Corvette (Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray)

PP settings is full of bugs. ECU , limiter , ballast ..... it's a mess.
Anyway , it's a top 3 700PP road car.

Enjoy your drive.
Also works great with the new 787b swap. Thanks.
 
Just thought i'd share this for those who are intersted. This guy seems pretty thorough and this has so far helped me to i guess fine tune a few of P's tunes. Just understanding it and his explanation both excellent. He has a series. it's pretty new.

That’s a very clear explanation, but remember, you can’t apply the same numbers to every car, even if they share similar characteristics like weight, power, torque, and downforce. Each car must be felt as a unique case. There are no fixed rules in GT—it’s all about testing, feeling, and applying corrections.

Everything he said is spot on, and you can definitely use those tips as a starting base, but the final result can sometimes vary greatly.

He’s also right about the importance of Springs (Natural Frequency), but the most critical parameters for road cars in GT are a combination of:

  • Ballast
  • Differential
  • Downforce
These are all fully interconnected, and you can achieve the same behavior in a car using different tuning approaches.
