changing tire profile size dangerous?

kenchan · 09-07-2011, 10:42 AM

yep, cause the wheels will need to spin that much faster to keep up with the other cars going the speed limit.

So I will be going faster than what the speedo tells me? Need to know this for speed camera purposes.

It's a more efficient use of my time to have someone else just tell me the answer.

the tire size calculator i am using is the one from 1010 tires.

Vivid has a great relationship w/ Forgestar. I'm sure we could get you a great price on those F14s.

thanks for the advice guys I think I will go ahead and make these purchases- worried about getting coilovers in the future now. what is the smallest drop you can do with coilovers thinking of kw v3 in the future or if I go crazy JRZ.
