Re: Custom Wheels <Reply>

Ryan,

Those tires (255x50x17) will be an 1"+ taller than factory. That'll throw
off your speedo, and would probably prevent you from installing an ATR
battery relocation kit in front (you may not care about this, but...). It
would also slow down 0-60 time of your SyTy as taller tires will have the
same impact as higher gear ratios. In addition to offsets, be sure the
wheels are hub-centric. All wheel specs were posted a couple of weeks ago.
The offsets are stamped on your wheels. That's all the wheel co. needs along
w/ hub-centric measurement & bolt pattern.
