spedfrk Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Someone please tell me this. If I have a locked rear end and I have two different size tires on the rear how does that effect my final gear? Example I have two 235/75/15 on the rear and I choose to go to a 235/65/15 on my left rear only will that effect my final gear ratio or does it go by your biggest tire...smallest tire or somewhere in the middle... Note those tire sizes are for examples not what I'm trying to do. Thank you.. Confused and ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
