I just bought four almost new Goodyear tires on 16 inch custom rims with five lugs for ten dollars each. My question to anyone or all? What effect will that have on my 3:50 rear end? I want to put them on my 302 '78 F-100 explorer if it wont mess me up. Will I get better gas millage? What about my speedometer? What negative actions will occur? Please let me know. Anything positive?


Bob

You will need to compensate for tire/rim size.

Go to this site and have a look for calculating.
