hey people, your n00b(thats me) wish to ask a few questions
first of all, i was wondering: how the hell do you connect a lip to your car? i've never had one and have never seen anyone put one on. i always wondered this. do you just drill and screw like crazy? is there precut holes or something? or do you just put glue everywher and hold it in place for a few minutes for the glue to dry? also, would wheel size change how many miles you put on your odometer? for example, if i stick 24 inch rims ![]() ![]() thanks in advance! |

Of course. You will drive the same speed with less RPM. So it takes less revolutions to do a Mile on bigger size tyres. So that means your speedo will be off.
Look at the next link There you can calculate the difference in stock and future plans of wheels+size tyres. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

i honestly believe that this idea is physically impossible to do on the celica for less then 50k worth of suspension/air ride work.

Bigger rims means more rotation weight = more power needed at any point = more fuel consumption. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

i know that rims size changes your actural speed but never thought too much on it. i made a fast calculation like below..
stock rims are 215 50 16r has 159.5 cm circumference my rims are 225 40 18r has 169.7 cm circumference. that means i am actually going 106.4 km when i see 100 km on speedometer. ![]() can anyone correct me pls? -------------------- ![]() |
