slick Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Ok, so me and Jeremy traded wheels today. The tires that were on my wheels were 225/45/17, and the new ones are 245/45/17. Well, i'm up visiting my mom and brother until i get my laundry done and he asked me to take him out in my car. So, i went out and got on it. It seemed like it took forever for it to shift, and seemed just a bit slower, but that was just from the seat of my pants, not on a track. Does this seem to make any sense?

93CutlassSupreme Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 your new tires have taller sidewalls, making for a larger tire diamater, changing your gearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted August 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Well crap, that sux. So that probably does mean that I am a bit slower now. Good thing these wheels are about 100-120 lbs. lighter. I just need to empty out my damn trunk now of Steve's(stevesaphyso) engine parts.
