This is also totally correct.

 

I am selling my rockband 1 for ps3, as well as some heavily worn toyo ra-1 r comps, 245/40/18 if anyone is interested.

 

That's the same rolling diameter, just different width

Guys run these "staggered" setups on different width wheels on Audi's and the X without a problem but I wouldn't personally risk it.

Off topic: Does anyone have an 9 lip laying around they don't need? Mine is broken and I don't feel like repairing it. The evo's starting to look goofy rolling around without a front lip

 

i have been contemplating going CF ralliart-style front lip... maybe we could work something out. my se lip needs to be painted tho.

 

I have a white one.

 

They aren't the same diameer 235/45 are ~25.3" diameter 255/45 are ~26" diameter. A 255/40 would be a better choice ~25.0" diameter. If they make a 265/40 that would be almost the same exact diameter.

The differential isn't going to break (it isn't locked 4wd differential) but it could have a reduce life due the clutches slipping creating more heat. Also the different tires sizes will create more drivetrain losses and rolling resistance.

 

Whoa, on topic discussion in the thread. This needs to stop immediately.

Dex.. Roll out some LOLcats.

 

Actually, this is not correct either

The aspect ratio (45 in this case) is the ratio of sidewall height to width.

So for a 235 width, you multiply 235x.45=105.75 105.75/25.4=4.16"

For the 255 width, 255x.45=114.75 114.75/25.4=4.52"

So you are looking at a .36" difference in height, per sidewall. Diameters are 25.3" vs. 26.0". And for more proof, you are looking at 796 rev/mile for the 235 and only 775 for the 255 width.

Ok, I am done for now.

Edit: dgoodhue beat me to it!!

 

BAM corrected twice!

Sorry about the misinfo, I was under the impression that the sidewall was a fixed number rather than a ratio

 

alright guys don't gotta rip on me for the thought.. haha

You think I could fit 225/45/17's on the stock rims? (Yes I'm trying to use the tires I have right now... hate me all you want)

 

yes, i hate you. 225s ftl. im sure they will fit. the width and rolling diameter is smaller.

 

i'd hope so.

and on the subject of peen, we went to the chicken bone last night and guess who was there....

none other than the girl immortalized in tim's signature. greg got her friend's number :O

 

Jason- u know I hate you, but I have a set of 235-40-17 Yokohama ES100's with very little wear. I am willing to sell them. I ran them on my stock VIII wheels for only 1 summer.

 

Greg got her friends phone number...???...so is Greg planning on calling him???

 

anyone try to get a sticker recently? took me three tries to get one today. i swear i love boston, but it gets harder every day.
