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.

QUOTE(xonethug @ Mar 26, 2005 - 5:24 AM) i just want to know what size tire to use for speedometer to be still a bit accurate - 15 inch rims - 195/55/15 tire size ( orginal) -16 inch rims - ?? - 17 inch 215 /45/17 - ?? or 205 / 40/ 17 or 205/ 45/17 - 18 inch ?? 19 inch ??? 20 inch ?? !!! i have 17" but want to go for 18" so what is the tire size ?? [right][snapback]262464[/snapback][/right] I was talking about something like this.... to have that completed. i know i cant have under a 40 series tire, and even thats on the small side for roads around here. your right, id rather have it off than risk my wheels, but id rather have larger sidewalls, the right speed, and just the OD off.....that doesnt really matter too much to me, as i dont have plan on selling the car, and it just makes it look like it has fewer miles than it really does if i sell the car later. |

[right][snapback]272892[/snapback][/right] Here is the best as far as closest to the stock OD (not necessarily for traction, wheel protection, tire availability or measured rim width): 15 inch: 205/55/15 (stock) 16 inch: 205/50/16 17 inch: 215/40/17 18 inch: 215/35/18 Hope it helps. Also, for future reference, remember this link: Tire Size Calculator -------------------- 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. |
