The outer wheels would be shaved down to 3.75" diameter to ensure equal linear speeds on all wheels.

What 118 currently does as far as I know is use all 17t sprockets and use smaller diameter wheels on the corner, causing their larger diameter wheels to have greater linear speeds than the outer wheels. Jack's idea is a possibility to fix that problem without having to implement a drop center.
