I read they did it to use the fatter tires and get full steering lock to lock.

"With the 86-X we had to push the front wheels out quite a bit to make room for the tire and wheel combo on full steering lock. The stock boxer engine is very wide compared to your regular inline or V-engine, which means that the chassis legs are far apart. This in turn limits the space in the wheel well. In addition to us having to run a 25mm conversion spacer at Gatebil, this is the reason for the 86-X’s very wide front stance. We will play with less scrub radius (by removing the spacer) at a later stage, but we might find that the wide stance helps stabilize the car." speedhunters. | |

| Re: Cool Pictures
maybe someone can help me find a pic, I've searched high and low on the webz without any success. It was a black and white pic of a '60's Gasser, it was a 'perfect' pic of the entire bottom end of the engine blowing apart, you could see the crank and some rods along w/ chunks of the engine block being exploded all over the place. The view was from the front of the car looking from the left front fender, you could even see the drivers eyes wide open, sort of like this: |
