Difference in wheels???????

Oldschoolpony · 06-22-2002, 09:57 PM

Would it make a difference in 1/4 mile et If I instead went with a 15 x 4 front rim?????? , Instead of a 15 x 3.5. I'd like a little more rubber on the ground up front. Probably an dumb question, but an opinions??????

PS, not opinions if the question is dumb or not

Will it make a difference? Yes. A difference worth noting? Not in my opinion. The smaller the rotational mass, the faster you're going to be able to accelerate, and the smaller contact patch will allow for less rolling resistance under high pressure. Will it cost you a tenth or something like that? I can't see how it would.

Cool. I just want a little more rubber on the road in the braking area.

The difference would be so small, it could be counted as inconcequencial. You won't see a loss in time if you go with the 4"...assuming that you can drive
