Hey all , quick question ,I want to give my ute a run at the next test and tune night at the drags ...

one of the lads I work with reckons that's I will loose atleast a second if I run it with my 20's on the car :w00t2: ... I knew it may have a bigger rolling diameter then a standard rim but didnt think it would make a huge difference ...any ideas ??

Cheers :dontknow:

The rolling diametre is the least of your concerns. Its the additional weight of the wheel, plus the lack of traction. When you let a tyre down that has a decent sidewall, the tyre patch on the road lengthens and can almost double. With a low profile you, airing them down does very little.
