Re: Ever wonder what some 18x9.5 +38 wheels look like on an SVX?

That said, I wonder if you have more/less leeway with the 5-speed versus the stock auto.

It really will matter what the rim width is though and finding a tire that can use both sizes. if you use a tire that requires a really narrow rim but put it on a wide rim it wont look right (IMO) and possibly will pop off the bead and lose air. Quote:
according to tire size calc the 225's are 25.08 diameter and the 255/35's are 25.02 And as to the transmission leeway I would guess the 5 speed will be more lenient as it uses a viscous diff I think. |

I would think a 5- or 6-speed would be more forgiving too, but I'm not sure actually. Plus, if you're using the same size tires, then what's the point of the different rims...?

Generals are on my Muranos. Never again either. Not very confidence inspiring in dry, even worse in the wet.
