1. Doesn't matter what wheel you use.

2. FAST Stock class isn't restricted for tire size/wheel size, classes are seperated by other mods and street vs race tires.

3. Generally there are two cars, but not on the same section of course and should not be near each other.

Tire size doesn't either.

The tire rules are:
If you are using a race tire (R compound, slick) then you are in a race tire class, else you are in a street tire class.
