i have 19's if i had say 16's inch wheels would my n/a pull away faster??

??????? any thoughts?

Most probably.

Have you weighed them?

providing your rolling radias is decreased you will techinally have greater acceleration and if you increase rolling radias you'll increase top end speed, but thats provided your smaller footprint still grips, so there can somtime be a trade off to smaller wheels etc, look on a tire calulator to find out rolling rads etc

Most probably.

 

Have you weighed them?

no but they look bloody heavey mate.....i may sell em and put a set of 16's on o.z or something

and weight can be a factor also.

stock toyota wheels would be best I'd say!

the soop just dosen't look rite with small wheels though ..

oh no if i do it i want a nice set to go on mate for sure

there is very little difference from alloy to alloy size wise for acceleration i wouldn't worry too much fella, maybe go for a set of 18's as most people say the biggest you really want on a supra for handling and ride is 18's and at least then it'll still look good well better than 16" imo and keep the arches a little more full also, i done a 13.0@111mph on 18" 60ft 2.1 on street tyres only running 0.8 bar and that was full weight with spoiler and a big fat boot build which has gone now

i'll see how it goes mate, cheers for the info..top man

no probs

sorry for the hijack but 13 flat running stock boost? What track was that at Dee?

santa pod, built motor 3.2 stock turbos 0.8 bar

and my mates don't believe my motor is a 3.2 0.8 bar no fuel cut defencer and all the way down the run way it was 0.8 bar well a few don't but i have receipts for a £7800 build

and i can drive fairly well, can only put it down to the 3 years go karting and daily way i drive the car

Fair play - your post was just slightly misleading then...

60ft 2.1 on street tyres

and i can drive fairly well, can only put it down to the 3 years go karting and daily way i drive the car

is that in an auto or manual ? cos 2.1 is average according to Monkeymarks drag strip times.

Dee, please note i'm not trying to put you down just curious, i take it its harder to get a good 60 foot time in an auto with 18" wheels compared to a manual with 16" wheels ?? due to grip and delivery of power etc ?

If your 19's are;

Lighter than your 16's

Suspension is adjusted to suit 19's (softer at the rears as 19's will make it harder etc..)

Then nope 19's will be quicker:)

My 19" CCW's weigh almost the same as a stock rim

I was expecting them to be MUCh heavier but when I took the tyre off I was amazed

It goes to show, some people seem to think 19's = shit slow handling car,

This can be true most of the times, but if you do it right the difference in handling from stock can be minimal.

manual fella, don't worry no offence taken on conti's now on f1's which feel much better

??????? any thoughts?

No ... cos if you have the right 19's on the rolling diameter should be the same or to a max of 2% or your speedo will be way out,

Either way if you change from standard wheels you need to have your speedo chip recalibrated

i may sell em and put a set of 16's on o.z or something

I'm sure we could work something out:D
