Sandman Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hi, I'm new to the forum, this is my first post. I just bought a 1992 SC400 and am considering switching to either a 17 or 18 inch chrome wheel (for the looks). If I do I'm wondering how the lower profile tire will affect the ride. Any experience/opinions, things to watch out for and directions to go in? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I just put new rims and tires on my car. I increased to 17" chrome rims with 245/17/r45 tires which maintains pretty much the stock diameter within reasonable error so my speedometer isn't off too much at all. The ride wasn't really affected. I didn't notice any difference in ride. Maybe a little better handling, haven't really tested that out much.

Thanks I have 17 inch rims on my car and the only difference i noticed is that the ride is a bit more bumpier because there is less cushion from the lower profile tires. I would say go with either one because you do get a bit more better handling to. Overall its worth it and you wont even notice you have them.
