Use a search engine with these two search terms: 'Powerdog' and 'tire size' to find an easy-to-use tire sizing calculator to help you match the original wheel/tire diameter. Stay within +/-2% of the original wheel/tire diameter for best results.
There are several changes that happen when switching from 17 to 26 inch wheels. The biggest change that happens is that the speedometer does not accurately track the speed of the vehicle. Therefore you will need to have the speedometer readjusted.
It wont. They will only change when you increase/decrease the size dramatically as the wheel or tire. A one inch change wont make a difference.A more accurate answerIt's true that the size of the rim does not directly have any impact on the speedometer accuracy. But changing the rim size generally means that you'll be changing the size of the tire. The speedometer is directly affected by the circumference of the tire that is used. If you use a tire with a 10% larger circumference, the speedometer will indicate that you're going 10% slower than you really are. If you match the circumference of the 14 inch tire to the circumference of the 15 inch tire, the speedometer accuracy will not change.
Yes, but all 4 will have to be changed to have constant control of vehicle and speedometer will not be accurate.
keep the tire ride height the same.
Jet Accu Speed Speedometer calibrator. It adjusts your speedometer for bigger tires or gear change. Only works on automatic transmissions.
There are several things that one needs to take into consideration when switching from 17 to 26 inch wheels. The biggest thing to understand is that making this switch will have an affect on the speedometer by causing the speedometer to not have an accurate reading of your speed.
An inch stays an inch. Forget "linear" inch. Inches are always a linear length measure.
Good luck on this one, but know this, when you change the diameter that much, your speedometer will be off by a lot. The speedometer is geared for a certain diameter wheel/tire combination, and when that gets too big or too small, the speedo doesn't know what to do--
On most newer vehicles t is done with a scan tool.
A: Yes, but you may have to switch to a low profile tire to get enough clearance between tire and wheel well A: Warning - Changing tire size can change the calibration of the speedometer. It could also change the emissions compliance of the automobile and may, therefore, be illegal.
The most popular size is 12 inches because once you go into 12U, it stays at the same size.
yes with a 45 series tire but you also have to reprogram your speedometer
