question: usdm lsd and rim size

I know the usdm ITR lsd was tuned for the 15inch rims. Would running 16 inch rims hurt the lsd since it wasn't tuned for it? Thanks

do the math, larger Circumference and the same final drive... slower accel, but higher top speed.

Keep the same circumference and have the same ratio as before.

got it?

To have it almost the same circumference with 16inch rims, I need to get 205/45/16 tires.

Do you know of any good tires with that size?
Thanks again.

It's used to transfer power to the tire with more grip.
I wanted to know if the lsd can be damaged by using bigger wheels.
