I just made a deal for some wheels and tyres. They are 16x7's and 16x8's with 245's in the rear. Will that size tyre be too much for my stock 73 2.0L engine?

a few things to consider:
the wider the tire the more rolling resistance you'll encounter, the tire/rim combo is generally heavier, is the tire OD larger than what you are currently running? If yes, the car will be slower to accelerate due to the change in effective gear ratios. about the only positive things are it'll look cool (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) and it "might" allow you to take certain corners just a tad bit faster due to the increased grip... |
