I have a 2000 RS and changed my rims from stock to 16" rims and low profile tires .My question is how much would that affect my over all speed .
You're right, my apologies. I posted the link to the wrong calculator. I used to have one that would give you what he's looking for, of course now I can't seem to find it.Louse76 on Aug/08/02 said:All of that has nothing to do with performance guys.
see, louse, i wasn't sure if he/she was refering to the difference it speedometer reading or the actually performance of the vehicle. i guess one can interpret it either way...Louse76 on Aug/08/02 said:All of that has nothing to do with performance guys.
It depends what size tires you used and how heavy the rims are. If overall they are larger than what you had before, you will have taller gearing and that will make you slower but actually give you more top speed. Also, if they are heavier, the extra unsprung weight is going to hold you back a lot. But with the lower sidewall that I assume you have compared to what you were running before, you will have less flex and better handling.
i dont know too much. but the bigger rims you get the more top end you get are you sure.Louse76 on Aug/08/02All of that has nothing to do with performance guys. said:It depends what size tires you used and how heavy the rims are.
