Hey guys, I'm in a pretty desperate situation and I was wondering if it would be ok to run smaller wheels in the front and the stock ones in the rear? The wheels are only an inch less than stock in diameter and they are about 1/2 inch wider. This would be for 2, maybe 3 months max. I really need to know soon guys!

Thanks!

and it can effect your RPM just so you know....14" enkies i redline at stock factory red line

18s i redline before that by 400 rmp

but that is just the RMP gauge off.....i really am at factory redline but because of the wheels it reads lower


I know speed, odometer and drive ratios are affected by tire size. However, I was under the impression that the RPM guage is metered off the engine, not the wheels.

You are correct. RPM's are how fast the crank rotates per minute. I dont think it can cause your RPM's to be off.
