Default Tire Size (quick!)

Hey, just ordered my transmission kit from classic chevy 5 speed (great people, great price and everything i needed!!) but they need to know the tire size (diameter I assume). What was the stock size and if I'm going w/ 17" TTT's, will this change? Thanks!

27" is stock. 255/50-17 is the same diameter, but what you end up with is up to you...

I'm using 255/50/17's on mine and they are all but (.01 of an inch) same as stock.

I guess the trans guys want to know what speedo gear to put in? I guess it would help if you knew what size tires you were going to put on the wheels.


this is a useful calculator => http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
