You are right... Read my post but?
He has more with which changes your tire wall height through the profile percentage... Then also has a larger diameter wheel... A 225-60-15 and a 225-65-15 would not have the same rolling circumference nor would a 205-65-15 compared to a 225-65-15... Cheers, Tim

Thats pretty much what fords WDS does. according my BA manual, you can enter the diff ratio and tyre option, (only choices are are factory options). You could work out the closest factory combination of diff gear and wheel size to get it close. Last edited by tickford_6 on Sun Dec 09, 2012 1:14 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Im wondering do those front wheels even fit properly with the correct sized tyre on there like a 245? Nothing dangerous about a stretched tyre, providing it isn't too far stretched. I had 235/40R18's on 18x10's. When the rims are finished (Centres going from Chrome to black, repairing gutter rash) I'll have 18x8.5's with 235/40 R18 Invo's and 18x10's with 275/35R18 Invo's

I'm paying to get them done. The fronts (Ironically the wheels that didn't have stretched tyres....) have buckles, so I need them done. Depulu Wheels are doing it. Although not cheap, workmanship is excellent.

If you don't mind me asking... How much is it setting you back? I was going to try myself, but I don't know how good I can get it...

Not wrong it's not cheap... But I guess it's a fair size job to get perfect. Hmm have to keep that in mind... Cheers.
