Post of all Rims and Tires out there!

[89Vette]

Don't forget Lizard that your tires are larger than OEM and are throwing off your ODO and speedometer by 8.532% LESS than how far/fast you're actually going.

Also, your OD is 32.09" according to the calculator at 1010tires.

Ooooh...you're a keen stickler. AFAICT, they look like Nitto NT420's. On their website, the OD is listed exactly as 32.09". Considering variance from brand-to-brand, I'm surprised they come out EXACTLY the same as the 1010's calculator!

I REALLY like those rims, lizardman! 5-spoke, 6-lug wheels are rare. What make/model are they? FWIW, I like the wheel/tire ratio and how they fill the wells. Better than any other 22's I've seen pictured in this thread. And, I like the 45's way better than the appearance of your older 35's....

I like the addition of the chrome nerf bar too!
:ThumbsUP!:

So, my new tires are at exactly 35", but remember I have 4.78 gears in. So now that I am averaging just over 200miles per tank, what is the actual miles? What do I multiply by?

I'm talkin out my arse here because I really don't know, but:

4.78 is the number of revolutions of the drive shaft for each revolution of the tire. So if you swapped from 4.11s to 4.78s, then your ODO & Speedo should be off by 16%.

But ...

You also increased your tire diameter (from 29" to 35") for a difference of 20% but in the opposite direction. Your net SHOULD be a 4% change in your ODO & Speedo.

The best way to check is just to compare your mph to the reading on a GPS or to run a known distance and compare the ODO reading (the longer the distance, the more accurate the comparison will be - I'd do a minimum of 10 miles but more is better).

Y'all can correct me on what I've FUBAR'd here.

Nice pun.

[tom4bren]

Nice pun.

It was pretty much a rim-shot of a joke ... but the more un-sprung of Y'all got it. Maybe with more time to rotate in the grey matter, more of the lugs will get it too. No pressure though.
