I just don't see it!

Does anyone have any real world data for the tradeoff between wheel size and tire selection in terms of actual performance gain or loss?

I had customers that owned/worked in repair and tire shop say that when customers added big 22-24” rims the braking performance of the car would go down and the car would wear through brakes much faster.

These big rims are heavy and the revolving weight moved outward creates more centrifugal force.

The reduced tire diameter was one of the design concepts of this Can Am racer in 1970
