        Interactive Guide

        Wheel/Tire fitment guide - compare settings like wheel size, tire size and clearance.
        PS: Set the left side to stock size, and right side to play around with aftermarket options.
        Wheel Offset Calculator - calculate wheel offset
        Tire Size Calculator - see what happens to your speedometer reading when you change the size of your tires and wheels.
        Tire Size Calculator 2- compare different size tires
        Tire Size Calculator 3 - This service calculates various aspects of a tire given its size specification.
        Drop guide - shows how your car will look lower or lift.
        Tire Dimensions Made Simple - compare different size tires (Thanks Gorilla Eg!)

        fairly in-depth and very technical spread sheet which allows you to punch in wheel size, wheel weight, tire size, and tire weight and then spits out the moment of inertia of it. http://se30.dyndns.org:8080/SVX/rot_inertia_wheels.xls (thanks Mafdark)


        P.S. -Feel free to ask me any questions if you have trouble reading the output or figuring out how it can help you choose your next wheel/tire.


        If a link is dead let me know and I'll find another one.
        If you have any other good sites post it, and I will add it to this post.

        What a pu$$y to steal all the links from my thread. You had two bull$hit photoshop "lower your car and add tint" links on here yesterday and nothing remotely technical other than the miata.net calculator...3 links!

        I didn't even see this thread when I made mine because your last reply was 02-24-2008 until you edited with all the links I spent time looking up yesterday, lol.

        Thanks for the wheel offset calculator though

        don't hate, participate! j/k guys in the wheel business have been using these guides for 10+ years now. it's just not released to the public. at least these guides will prove my point right that a 17" & 15" wheel/tire combo for a civic/integra are literally the same height!

        good find!

        I fully understand that. I love it when people ask if a 17". 18", 20" whatever wheel will fit there car or better yet say their car scrubs because they put a 17" or 18" wheel on it.

        If you size the tire properly keeping the same outside diameter then NOTHING has changed!! Go up a wheel size then go with a lower series tire...it's common ****ing sense!
