Re: Mismatched wheels

This only works as long as the difference in diameters of the driven wheels is very small. I've seen plenty of cases where a team achieved a 1/8"-3/16" center drop by having all axles in line and using a slightly larger custom center wheel(s) than on the corners.

A 1" difference in diameter is much larger than I would recommend for this purpose.
