Wheel Size Calculator / Rim Weights
#46
For anyone that wants to know...
the stock 18" 6MT 2005 Sedan rims weigh 51LBS with tire..
the COUPE's Forged 19" weigh 48.6 and 51.4lbs (front/rear)
so,the 19" weigh the same as the 18" do.. with the coupes 245X40X19's in the rear, the speedo is 1.5% off, so when it reads 60, you are really going 60.9..
not so bad..

Tire/Wheel Fitment Question
I have an '04 6MT coupe and want to know if the following tire replacement on the OEM 18" wheels would work.
225/45/R18 --> 245/40/R18 Front
245/45/R18 --> 275/40/R18 Rear
Main concern is to determine if the OEM rims are wide enough to accomodate the wider tires.
Thanks!!!

No expert here but it's only an 8" rim. 275's would most def. buldge. Not to say it won't fit BUT it will probably wear very uneven, a guy I think his screen name is IMSOLUTIONS, has the 8.5 19" OEMS and is running a 265 safely. So I would think a 255 would probably be your safest bet. Front 245's is what I had and had 0 problems on the stock 18's Just my .2

I just found a pretty nice offset calculator
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp
I haven't looked at any of the other calculators yet, but this one is really nice. It shows you visually what the tire and wheel will look like together with every possible wheel/tire size.
This calculator is also a good place to go when people start talking about tire sizes (like 245/45/18) you can easily select those numbers to see a visual representation of just what they're talking about!
I didn't want to start a new thread and since this one was stickied, I thought this would be a good place to post this one.

Thanks.
Since they can't be up forever, here is how you can create your own:
In Excel place the following 2 rows of content in columns A-G (comma means new column):
Description, Width, Profile, Rim Diameter, Total Wheel Diameter, Difference From Stock, Sidewall Height
STOCK, 215, 55, 17, =((B2*(C2*0.01)*2)/25.4)+D2, =E2-$E$2, =B2*0.01*C2
Here is what you will end up with:
Description, Width, Profile, Diameter, Total Size, Difference From Stock, Sidewall
STOCK, 215, 55, 17, 26.31102, 0, 118.25
BP, 245, 35, 19, 25.75196, -0.55905, 85.75
The formula came from the 2006 Wheel & Tire guide, the resulting spreadsheet came in handy for checking sizes.
The only thing missing would be a formula for determining displayed speed at 60mph like some of the websites do. This 'should be' correct (just add these as additional columns in H-J):
Circumference, Speed Diff, Speed at 60
=PI()*E2, =H2/$H$2, =60*I2
End up with using above examples:
Circumference, Speed Diff, Speed at 60 (actual speed when speedo displays 60)
82.65851, 1, 60
80.90219, 0.97875, 58.72512
NOTE - I suggest you compare your initial spreadsheet results against the online ones for a few sizes before you rely on it to make sure all formulas entered correctly:

I've been reading some posts and some people are putting the wierdest tire sizes on their rims/cars. Although this site I am providing says 'Miata' it's pretty accurate and should help EVERYONE!! You will then find out how your wheels offset your speedometer when you add wheels that are not supposed to be on your car.

The second link is for rim weights, either factory equipment or aftermarket wheels. I don't know how accurate this site is, but should give you a pretty good idea of rim weights out there.

ENJOY!!
It's still a G thang!!

Don't know if this one is a repost but
http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos
Seems to be a great comprehensive source for calculating speedo variation
