jazz1 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 sorry mate i forgot to ask you, when you drive is the car ok to go over speed bumps, have to say it looked awesome with the drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah it is now with the 19's, before anyone says its should not increase the height when going to bigger rims as long as you stick to the same profile....your wrong! previous wheels 17" profile 45 front 40 rears now 19" 35 front, 30 rears, and now my car does not catch on the verge of my drive like it always use to. Also if height was not effected then why is it that bigger wheels with correct Height tyres to compensate still = slight speedo incorrect reading...period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah it is now with the 19's, before anyone says its should not increase the height when going to bigger rims as long as you stick to the same profile....your wrong! previous wheels 17" profile 45 front 40 rears now 19" 35 front, 30 rears, and now my car does not catch on the verge of my drive like it always use to. Also if height was not effected then why is it that bigger wheels with correct Height tyres to compensate still = slight speedo incorrect reading...period But what width tyres are you / were you running, as the profile isn't a set measurement, it is a precentage of the width (i.e. a 225/40 has a 90mm side wall, where a 265/40 has a 106mm side wall). :edit: Gorgeous looking car, by the way!

Bob Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 then your old 17" wheels' rolling radius would have been 266.9mm rear, 268.6mm front. Your new wheels RR is 281.1 rear and 284.2 front. An average increase of roughly 15mm, i.e. your car is now 15mm higher than it used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
