RE: 4:10 gears
WTF???
Who would keep the same aspect ratio when plus sizing?
That is just silly (and not what you said ) and it will also cause your speedometer
to be off, in some vehicles can cause your shift points and transmission fluid pressures to change
Like I said, any change in tire diameter will have an effect, wheel size don't have a thing to do with it...
How are you going to aruge with PROFESSIONAL DRAG RACER? He knows what he's talking about and it makes perfect sense.

I'm comparing apples to apples in tire charateristics. That's all. And we're not arguing here, we're discussing.

No arguement here, I just feel thet it's common knowledge that when plus sizing you must adjust your aspect ratio to compensate for the increase in wheel diameter.
Like I said, not doing so can have greater consequences then just a change in effective gear ratio because the average person will not feel the difference going to a 1" taller tire..
It is used more in the 4x4 world where people change the tire diameter buy a lot more than an inch.
But since you brought it up.....
Lets use a stock mustang 245/45/17 and say that someone decides to use a 245/45/18
OldTireDiameter = 25.68 inch
NewTireDiameter = 26.68 inch
GearRatio = 4.10
New Tires
effective gear ratio = 3.9463268365817
and if you had 4.10's in a 01.5 - 04 Mustang with the 3650 with 25.68" tall tires
at 70 MPH in 5th gear, your motor is turning at 2,329.1 RPM
and if you had 4.10's in a 01.5 - 04 Mustang with the 3650 with 26.68" tall tires
at 70 MPH in 5th gear, your motor is turning at 2,241.8 RPM
only a difference of 87 RPMs
Heck if you lose 1/4" of tread over the life of your tire, that is 1/2" off of the tire diameter...Do you feel that? You're not going to feel double that either
No one will notice [&:]

...And no it pulls nothing like 4th with stock gears, i've tested it.

[That doesn't even work out on paper...your sense of pull is must be screwed.
