hey guys, I was just wondering, how much difference would you feel between using stock 15 inch rims and 17 inch rims (not chrome or lightweight performance) such as the adr gt sports? Anybody who switched from stocks to 17 inchers, please tell me what difference you felt (how much slower). Also, anybody with track experience, what is the difference in quarter mile from stock 15 inchers and 17 inchers? Anybody with input please........uh.. input? haha! yeah, well thanks! (sorry if this is stupid question)

If you keep the outside diameter of the tires the same, there is no difference in gearing or speed. The biggest difference in larger wheels is that the smaller sidewalls on the tires make the feel stiffer which is great for the corners but does give a little bit more bumpy ride on marginal roads.
P.S. Its not a stupid question. -------------------- 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. |
