Wheels and gears question
Ive seen a couple svx's with 18 inch wheels and some with 4eat transmissions.
Do you have to do anything to compensate for the changes in gear or tire size? What options are there for correcting these changes?

No need to change gear size wih 18 inch tire so long as you plus size correctly. If you check out Motorsports warehouse they also have 19" size that they sell. if you go with the 19 run a 225/35/19 and youll be off 1.8% bascially at 60 you will be going 60.8 if you run the 18" 225 40 18 and youll be .9% off 60.6MPH and for any other tire size needs or maybe a coustom width to maybe get slightly closer check here http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

+1.8% would be almost perfect for me. I figure my car reads +1.5%.

What about cars with the trans swap? What can you do to compensate for the gear ratio changes?

I'm reffering to how much would the gear change throw off the speedometer.

Thanks
My former cars 71 demon - swap gear in trans to compensate for gear changes 71 plymouth road runner - same 95 mustang - same 02 mustang - uses SCT handheld tuner to change I was just in the train of thought that something had to be done to make up for the changes, I wasn't sure how the SVX calculates speed.
