16 inch wheels?

[improvedae86]

For a start please stop editing your posts , i logged in this morning am time melbourne read your reply and now pm melbourne time there more to it. It getting very painful to follow with the constant changing and quoting.

Sorry i am lost to what size you are talking about , but yes i run 205/50/16 for road and 225/15/16 semis for track. There is no steering effort change inbetween 205/50/15 and 205/50/16 that without installing a strain measuring equipment into the rack or steering shaft that i can physically tell.Saying that my feeling is that on the road you yes the 225 is a far bit harder to steer yes , but this only comes into its own on the track once the tyres are up to temp.

Why do i need to guess ? unlike alot of people that sit in there chair onthe interweb to come at there results, i am out there trying the size to see the difference. I don't know why you keep going back to slip angle ! when the thread is titled 16" ??

If anyone wants to really know any hard data on there slip angle they really should just plot all there cars suspension points and other information into software. there are loads of programs on the market. Be it suspension analizer to lotus's suspension program , to lapsim. There is no need for all this engineering background of full on maths and physics when many companys have gone to the trouble so there no doubt of what rims size effects.

Didn't i see that really people should be looking at the whole suspension package not just the rim size !! sorry to sound like a broken record again

I am guessing as i seem to do alot according to yourself that in whatever country you are in that you don't get the rounds of the N2 and a full rundown on DVD ? also i guess that you cannot read japanese or speak it. Since you have the time for such long reply's to my posts maybe spend some of this time to search it for yourself.

If you cannot understand it and you also haven't tryed it , and if you don't even own a ae86 by guessing about you log in name i really have no idea why you would waste you time here. Maybe go start a thread on engtips etc.

And even after that you have these experiences you still get might get flamed ! And last guess is a user ? a owner of a ae86 ?
