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! |

Wheels size does NOT affect RPMs... it does affect speed and speedometer/odometer. The speedo gear drives the speedometer and odometer, electronically or mechanically, both signaled off of the tranny so bigger/smaller wheels/tires do affect that to some degree only to the drive wheels. RPM is usually a signal from the distributor, crank sensor, or something on the engine, so RPMs will feel no effect from larger/smaller wheels/tires. The RPM gauge is not connected to anything relating to drivetrain aside from engine load.
