smaller wheels?

[noobydude]

thanks guys,
and just to make sure,there shouldn't be an issue with speedometer or messing with the TOD/ABS systems or drivetrain?
i heard going bigger had effects on those things, but going down in size should not be a prob?

I don't think you will have any issues there unless you do something drastic like lift and put 33" Swampers on...

as long as all 4 tires get replaced and stay the same size, TOD should work fine, unless something drastic like Bart mentioned.

Bart, thanks but I cant really do the $1k currently. Especially with Christmas around the corner

Here's how it works...going up OR down in size from stock will have an effect on your speedo/odo...
A tire with a larger overall diameter makes fewer revolutions per mile.

A tire with a smaller overall diameter has to make more revolutions to cover that same distance.

I hope this will help, rather than add to the confusion...

Stock 99 tire : 245/70x16".....29.5 oa diameter
Stock 00/01 tire : 245/60x18".29.57 oa dia.
........................265/70x16"..30.6 oa dia. (common upgraded replacment size, with a little trimming)
........................285/75x16"..32.83 oa dia. (common upgraded size, w/lift & trimming)

All the above info. is for stock rims...an aftermarket rim with a different offset (usually more negative...towards the outside of fender) will throw all the lift/trimming info. completely off.

from the scangauge II instruction manual on how to adjust your speed with different tire size...

The approximate % to use for a tire size
change can be computed by dividing the diameter of the original
equipment tire by the diameter of the new tire, subtract this from 1 and
multiply by 100. For instance, if the diameter of the original tires was 24
inches and the size of the new tire is 30 inches, 100x(1-(24/30)) = 20. (you are going 20% faster than what your speedo reads)
