This also gives me a chance to replace the cheesy looking aftermarket rims I have now with something more to my taste. I apologize to purists, but do not care for the stock rims.
Right now I'm considering Foose rims and Dunlop Sport Maxx TTs. I do not race but have been known to goose the car for short distances on the freeway. Are there any special considerations (other than speedometer calibration) involved in making this switch?
Thanks.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is overall stock wheel height. Also, the offset needs to be very near the OEM rims.
You can download the spreadsheet I have
here. This is from the
Crossfire Documentation Collection. It has the OEM sizes calculated out and my set up sizes entered. Just enter the sizes and offsets you want to use and see the differences without breaking out the calculator!
