I would like to maximize wheel base but I don't want the time to stick out. I would like for the wheels to sit nicely underneath the car. Could anyone help me on this deparment?

Well, if you go with smaller dia., you are supposed to gain torque transfered to the road, so more torque = more power = faster......about the top speed, I don't know. Your engine'll be revving higher for the same speed, but since you have more torque, will it go faster or will you go out your power range on your engine.....???
It will be like if you change your diff ratio. Drag cars have a high gear ratio, and smaller dia wheels will give the same effect. I think this is good if you don't have lots of power under the hood. |
