Yes. It will move the barrel of the wheel out vs the hub centerline. Doing so widens the track width if not going to a narrower wheel.

The more aggressive you get, the harder it is on wheel bearings as a result from the additional weighted leverage of a steel wheel. Just a maint related item to keep in mind.

Again..... Trimming the rain gutter is very common for the minimal clearance needed. It just needs to be done w/care in mind.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
