"kill or be killed"
|
Ok, so I need to find a size calculator for how tall and how wide the tire is.
I'm trying to figure out the size difference from a 285/35/17 to a 295/40/17. I know there is a minimal difference but, when your lowered and running camber and racing I don't want it fu(king up in the middle of the race. So if anyone has any USEFUL input please let me know. If needed I will be running Kumho V710 tires.

I know, i have it worked out...There is a guy with an 01 Cobra that has 10.5 rims up front that runs 295/40/17's and he had to put spacers before the rim and then other spacers in something else (rack and pinion i believe) so it will only let him turn the steering wheel 1 complete rotation (which is stupid i think)...But i'm going another route with some different things, but had to make sure of clearance issues with the tire and if i have my **** right it will all work.

This Calculator I made, it go a step frther that 1010tires It calculates gears vs RPM vs Speed as well..
Calculators: This is a Microsoft Excel Worksheet the calculates Rear End Gear changes and there effects to RPM and Speed. Also there is a calculator that will assist you in selecting the correct Tire size for your car including what Wheel and Tires combo will fit. Download the sheet here. http://home.comcast.net/~swieduwilt0...lculations.xls you can get an excel viewer that plugs into your browser here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=EN \
