Tire Size vs MPH Question EVO IX Tranny
Quick question for you guys...
I currently have an evo IX with a stock transmission and final drive (5 Speed), I want to be able to run out fourth gear up to about 122mph with out spinning past 7500RPM (stock Valvetrain), if I'm running a 16 Inch wheel what tire size would I need to have to achieve this? Also if I was running a 15 inch wheel what tire size would I need to achieve this? What I have figured out on my own is that if I'm using a 15 inch wheel I need a 26" tire or a 235/60/15 for a street tire. Which would look ridiculous on an Evo. So Im curious about a 16 inch wheel, or is there a way to run a slightly shorter tire to achieve the MPH goal. Sorry if this has been discussed already I just cant seem to find the info or calculator Im looking for. I just want my car to have the "potential" to run a 10.9 with out having to do valvetrain or changing out to a evo 8 4th gear. I believe the IX has the perfect gearing for the "street" bone stock for anything under 450whp. And I apologize for my ignorance.. Future Plans would be a STM Willwood Small brake kit with 15 inch drag set up with slicks but I also want to run 16 inch wheels and a street tire giving me roughly the same gear on the street. |

I think it's time to start thinking about valvetrain mods. |
My stock tranny Evo IX went 11.2@127 revving to 9k. I made over 200 passes on my stock engine with the rev set to 9k. Car only past 7200 in 4th gear at the track. I was on stock wheels and tires.

No lol I wish. It was a SS Auto Chrome 35r that I cost $240 brand new. My first complete turbo kit was a SS Autochrome kit. That kit cost me $900 complete and made nice power.

wait wait wait, you used the SS autochrome knock off full race manifold AND the SS auto downpipe? I was under the impression that downpipe didnt work at all or fit with out removing A/C? Also thats crazy that $250 turbo worked lol. what did you use for an oil feed line for that turbo? I would think the head wouldnt provide enough oil pressure for a joarnal bearing turbo.

If it works hey go for it , I used high end turbo's that blew after 2 weeks, 1 week a few days and they didn't even want to replace them or fix them.

Ugh 9K would put the car around 138MPH, did you have smaller than stock tires? Even 8500 would put the car around 130, based on trap speed that is more like 8350. |
on stock valvetrain I ran 8k + for 2 years with no issues in 4th gear at the track with a 6262 26' m&h slicks on 17" wheels also fyi
