can someone make the list and then sticky it? it was kinda started in the 20" rims thread, but thats the info im looking for. and if you need speedo corrections, what are your options? the only one i know of is to get speed hut to do custom gauges for it.... i think this info should be stickied at the that top, and if it is, and i missed it, could you be kind enough to post a link? thanks.

if you get an 18" rim you need to get a 35mm tire. thats the highest you can go without going over the stock OD and screwing up your speedo.

[right][snapback]272667[/snapback][/right] While this is true, its not necessarily the best advice. I would rather have my speedo, odo, and gearting be slightly off than have a bent rim from too low of sidewall. Just my $.02 -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
