Default Tire RPMs

Had 17's on my car but lost control and bent my rims so I sold em 4 350........AnywayZ My car felt faster with the bigger rims especially at higher speeds.......my question is would 18's slow an EG down? because the 17's only draw back was the reduced braking power.............. would 18's scrape at stock ride height?

the bigger the rims the more rotation there is to complete a full rotation.

it will be slower

do you understand what im saying? the larger the rim the longer it takes to complete a full rotation

thats why alot of people just roll 15-16's even 14.

18"+ are for gangsters anyways

I was just thinking that if you lowered an eg on 18 your asking to rub...........And im not a race car driver Just like to have fun and look good doin it....... 17s look good but lowered 18's look great.........It just feels like on smaller wheels your engine spins faster but the velocity is lacking compared to my old 17's.......Either way I was jus wondering.......I also wanted to know if anyone had any numbers of different track times according to wheel sizes
