Wheel Formula (fwd)

Hi,

Here is a little gem I got from the Impala SS List. I think some might
find it useful.

     The stock 215/75 15's are 27.70" in diameter.

     And finally, the magic formula:

     Rim Size[in] + (((Width[mm] * (AspectRatio / 100)) * 0.03937)*2)

     e.g.:
     15 + (((215 * (75/100)) * 0.03937) * 2)
     15 + (((161.25) * 0.03937) * 2)
     15 + ((6.53) * 2)
     15 + 12.7
     ------------
     27.70" diameter for the stock setup.

     Drive Safe,

     Joe

      
     BTW, I do not have an Impala SS. I found this in their mailing list
     archive when I was searching for a special wax for work.
