Wheel Sizes

Post by **marcawalker** » 13 Sep 2006, 09:11

All 4 of my tyres need replacing. Especially now since two of them have been slashed!

Im thinking of getting some bigger wheels. I have the 175s on now.

If i want bigger tyres do i need to buy the rimms too?

Does anyone know a good supplier to get some from and what sizes should i go for?

Thanks

If you put bigger tyres on the speedo will be inaccurate and the gearing will be too tall..
take a look on the wiki and see what you can fit to bigger rims...
it's all about diameter

Brickyard has some info on it too.

Gearing will go higher with bigger overall rotational distance, but what some people do is use a bigger rim them lower profile tyres to offset it.
