Its the old mustang/camaro mentality that wider is better, thats only true in bed ask any woman.

And for the sake of the thread tire diameter does change the arc suspension components travel, depending on the setup and amount of links involved in the suspension system it can dramatically affect arc.

Tire size does not effect supsension travel in steady state roll (steady state cornering). The only factors that will effect roll travel are:

- Roll moment (depends on sprung mass, vehicle lateral accelleration, and difference between CG height and RC height).- Track width (which changes with wheel offset and width, NOT tire width)- Vehicle roll rate (depends on spring rates and anti-roll bar rates)

Tire size does not affect any of the above "dramatically". However, tire diamter and wheel width & offset will alter the length and inclination of the car's FVSA (front view swing axle, essentially the line acting between the center point of the contact patch and the instant center of the suspension links, as viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle). Changing the length and inclination angle of the FVSA will change roll center height, but only very slightly. Additionally, increasing the length of the FVSA can increase the rotational moment of inertia of the suspension, causing the unsprung mass to become "sluggish" to respond to road and spring forces.

In bed, it's not about the width of the vehicle, it's about the motion of your sprung mass about her roll centers. Giggidy giggidy gooo!

Really, I'm a hands on learner too hitman. That's why I just bought a welding machine for my garage. But, unfortunetly, I have to work 60 hours a week. And my off time is currently used to prepare my house for my little one coming in October.

Besides, even if I can't read the book, I'd still like to look at it on my bookshelf...as if I HAD read it lol

lmao@Amoeb...

Maybe you guys can help me out with some of your favorite book titles that will put this info on my shelf?

Working at a tire shop for a summer when I was a younger. Bustin tires sucks for a daily grind.

I was 18 when I worked there, and that was almost 15 years ago. Nobody had 18's and the 17's were few and FAR between. I think a 50 series tire was about as bad as it got as well.

yeah my redneck hick of a tire changer is gonna hate me when i ask him to put 225/40s on the 10j

one of the ugliest exhausts ive ever seen

Not original. I have 100 pics of cars on my HD with wacky exhausts, and they were taken a long time ago.

Everyone thinks they're a trendsetter... when the reality is, they're just following another trend.

DO YOUR OWN THANG.

Yeha, i saw them 6 months back on an old school styled VIP car and was like...**** i gotta get some of them

so i did

I dig it. I want something similar to my Z, but without the whole angled up part. Just twin tip dual exhausts sticking straight out the back, DD style.

lol yokota, when did you get your first grey hair?

I got mine when I was 15. Now I'm 25 with half a head of grey hair...

I'm just happy to have hair, grey or not
