31 inch tires and 4.88 gears.
« on: Jan 26, 2010, 04:44:29 PM »
I am currently working on my toy and was hoping to put 33 inch tires on it. The one issue I have is that the 4cyl and auto is a slug, so I was thinking of just putting 31 inch tires and change the gears to 4.88 to make up for the tire diameter. The vehicle came with 28 inch tires. Therefore, the 5 inch difference will affect engine performance. Any input in this matter would be appreciated. I did try to search, but it came back with a 0.

I had 5.29's and 32's for 3 years of DD. Worked great with an old 22r.
