Are you sure that is the real reason?

Does he really want a 6 wheel drive with the center wheels offset a bit lower for traction??

We have done that setup sucessfully in the past and had no problems.

But then you have teams who think "hey, a .25" offset is good, why not try a 3" offset and be great", like one certain team in NJ did this past year.

Yeah.. not such a good idea.
