for comparison sake... what are the specs on your wheels and tires for your track setup?
also, your lever analogy has credence (you already knew that though). a smaller, more aggressive offset makes the effective axle length longer, therefore reducing the amount of force required to compress the suspension overall.
how much change in offest is too much? if the change is only a few mm in offset, then increasing treadwidth anymore than... say... 10mm, will most likely cause clearance issues with the inner sidewall and the strut tower.
again... i have no experience on track, so this is all new from a performance aspect for me. i'm sure others reading will find this very interesting, and may be able to apply your experience with these cars in their own ways.
