Wheel roational inertia mod. Volunteers are welcome!

A car tire weights about 10kg. A wheel is between 6-20kg.

For the MI(i think it has the smallest wheels in the game):
Wheel: 10"
wheel radius = 0.5 * 10 * 0.0254 = 0.127m
wheel weight = 10kg
wheel inertia(all weight in rim) = 0.16129kgm2
Tire: 165/70-10
tire radius = rim radius + 0.165 * 0.7 = 0.243m
tire weigth = 10kg
tire inertia(all weight in tread) = 0.59049kgm2
total inertia = 0.75178kgm2

For the 360:
Wheel: 18"
wheel radius = 0.5 * 18 * 0.0254 = 0.229m
wheel weight = 10kg
wheel inertia(all weight in rim) = 0.52258kgm2
Tire: 215/45-18
tire radius = rim radius + 0.215 * 0.45 = 0.325m
tire weigth = 10kg
tire inertia(all weight in tread) = 1.0563kgm2
total inertia = 1.57888kgm2

So realistic values would be somewhere between: 0.75 - 2.0
Will the simulation be able to handle it?
