Post of all Rims and Tires out there!

Will increasing my OD by only 0.5" have any affect on my TOD or any other functions? I currently have 29.5" and my next tire setup will be 30" hopefully. Maybe even 30.5". Depending on which tire I go with.

H3, the only thing that will affect will be your speedo and odo. They both will be very slightly wrong. Not much at all. There are online tire calculators that will give you the exact percentage they'll be off by.

Really? With only half an inch. I figured it wouldn't make any difference at all. Thanks.

Well I did say very slightly, not much at all. The 1/2" may be so small it doesn't matter. There has to be some difference.

I hear ya.

I'm thinking of picking up some NTG's @ 255/60/18. Good price and good looking tire. Also heard from many it has long life.

Compared to the OEM 245/60/18s on your 2001, your new tires will yield a negligible 1.59% reduction in reported speed and distance traveled. You'll be going ever so slightly faster and farther than your speedo and odo tell you.

Probably within industry standards.

um, please don't take any offense, but you've seriously gotta start trying the "search" function...that question is probably either #1 or #2 most common question. There's thread after thread on it. in fact there's one with the exact same words you used in your question..... read up on the topic, it will help you decide how to proceed or what you need to consider in your decision making.

Yep, these will be mine as soon as they come in.

I love Ballistic wheels. I have some Ballistic Wizards for my H3. Just saving up some cash to buy some tires to go with them.

That there iz a sic look'n wheel...

Just saw a set for real, on a chev 4x @ the local fleet/farm...
Circled the truck a couple of times...before I realized the owner was sitting in the drivers seat...with a WTF? look on his face...

A quick , & he knew I was diggn' his wheels...

That's my story, & I'm stickn' to it.

Here are the Viscera 777 wheels with 285/50-20 Falken tires mounted on them.



FWIW, these wheels wheren't totally bolt-on. I had to convert the front hub bolts from the allen-cap screw to hex, then grind off nearly half of their head profile for the wheels to hit the backing plate. (Longer studs and spacers would have been another option -- or machine shop to remove about 3/16" from the inside bore depth.)

I also had to modify a bit of the wheel well. A bit of the front well edge was trimmed of and I had to "persuade" one screw on the backside [to intend further via use of a hammer].

These say 31.3" on Falken's website. Kinda hard to see how 33"er's can fit without serious lift. FWIW, I cranked the front up an inch but put it back where it was. I was leaned toward the budget lift (spacers in the rear), but think I like it as-is.

I do really like the big wheel on small truck look. My neighbor thinks it looks like a giant RC car.

Looks good Vette.

Could you add more info for the rims? I see they're 17" rims from the tire info. Do you have the width and offset?

[89Vette]

First of all, I goofed. (I corrected the previous post.)

My vette has 17's. I typed 17 as force of habit! <embarassed>. The VX is fitted with 20"er's now.

These Viscera's are 20x9" with 10mm offset. Here are some additional views if you like. You can probably tell by the shadow, but they sit outboard just a tad. Not very noticable though. Probably is less than 1/2".
