What is the gearing like with the 285s? I'm thinking about it, but I know what hassle bigger wheels can be! Your gearing goes out so you use a lot more clutch, which means they don't last as long. The fuel consumption goes through the roof, and you have to change up/down a lot more on the open road. The Speedo also goes out, and the brakes are not as sharp any more. Have you done anything to the gearing, speedo, and brakes, or are you running all std? If so is it barrable from a fuel economy, and driveability point of view :-)

id like to know the diametre of your tyre rick whilst on the rim and on the car if possable
im running goodyear MT 265 75 r16

only way to tell is measure

by **rick** on Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:18 am
