I know this typicaly has to do with alignment and tire balance. I was curious if after you all got after market 17" rims, though it takes longer to reach that speed, you dont shake anymore right? Im hoping when I get thoes it will fix everything.

I believe that the standard diameter is 609.1mm this equates to 195x65x14 tyres on 14" rims.
The advised replacement diameter is 215x40x17 tyres on 17" rims. If you check out the tyre calculator on www.tirerack.com they provide you with the original size based on your vehicle and options for having larger rims. I guess it's advisable to get, as near as possible, the same diameter in order that your speedo reads correctly. Smaller diameter = better acceleration, lower top speed and a speedo reading greater than actaul speed. Larger diameter = lower acceleration, better top speed and a speedo reading lower than actual speed. |
