Re: Can I run 18
well, let's look into the facts on the OE tires
275/35-18 = 25.6" in diameter
96.25mm sidewall which = 3.79"
335/30-18 = 25.9" in diameter
100.5mm sidewall which = 3.95"
a total sidewall height difference of 4.25mm or .16"
your proposed tire sizes
295/30-18...
Re: Can I run 18
but with the 30 aspect ratio it is easy to see that 30% of 295mm (88.5mm) is less than 30% of 335mm (100.5mm) so, the sidewall heights would be different and thus would have a different deflection rate (rear tire sidewall will flex more than the front)
Re: Can I run 18
using staggered diameter wheels and tires on a Gen2 is a bad idea .... the shorter sidewall tires in the rear will create different deflection rates ..... those different sidewall deflection rates which will adversely effect handling
Re: Welcome to the Tire Rack sponsored Wheel, Tire, Brake and Suspension Fo
using SRT10 wheels and tires on a Gen2 is a bad idea .... the SRT 10 rear tires are 1" taller than the front tires which creates identical sidewall height and deflection rates ..... the Gen 2 uses the same diameter...
Re: Welcome to the Tire Rack sponsored Wheel, Tire, Brake and Suspension Fo
the only advantage multi-piece wheels have is that they can be made in any width and offset by using different pieces. There is however a drawback .... multi-piece wheels are typically heavier than 1 piece wheels
Re: Speedometer and Chaning Wheel/Tires sizes
the rear SRT10 tire is 27.4" tall which is about 5% off of what you are loosing ..... so when your speedo says 105 mph you are only going 100 mph
Re: Speedometer and Chaning Wheel/Tires sizes
providing you keep the proper overall tire diameter there would be no difference
this picture explains it very well
