01lssport said:the motor has the same torque... the greater overall wheel diameter creates a higher gear ratio which causes slower launches, if I remeber correctly.
I don't believe the wheel size will rob torque so much as the wheel mass. My 20s are less than a 1/2" taller overall, my speedo is actually only about 2mph off on the highway. I believe my launch is unaffected as my Nitto 555s stick ALOT better than stock sport Michelins, so it makes up for it overall.Its going to depend on how much more the wheel weighs than stock, that will slow you down. My 20s aren't alot heavier than stock, most are. I've run 15.041 on my 20s with many 2.2 60's.HOMELS said:do 20's cut the torque down?

It does seem like my 20s are more accurate when passing those speed things on the side of the road. But only slightly different than the stockers.Patrick00LS said:Strangly enough, my speedo was off a bit when I was stock...now that I have these on there, i'm off maybe +1 @ 60.
