The valtras that run 444ci run 5" plus chargers.

Yes a larger than 5 had already been run in the ss class it's just not very driveable. Traction is one of the bigger problems with the ss class now. Going lighter would hurt the high hp vehicles. but it would make it easier for the 3.6 class to dominate the ss class if they could make weight. The less hp would be killer.
