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! |

QUOTE yes it is off the crank......but it can still mess with your wheels... aka crank moves tranny which moves wheels its all effects eachother and trust me my eyes can see my gauge Player, if its off the crank, then the size of the wheels makes no difference. The guage would simply be measuring engine RPM's and the affect of those RPM's through the drivetrain (tranny, wheels, etc) would have no effect. The only way it could possibly affect the tach is if the tach was measured off the wheels and then the ECU computed the RPM's given the gear and wheel speed. Even this makes no sense because you could rev up to 100mph and then take your foot completely off the accelerator. If it were measured off of wheel speed, the tach would not drop - which of course it does. -------------------- 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. |
