gears and wheels help
hello all
here is my delema. i have 4.10 gears as of now and putting out 450 rwhp and 470 rwtq( and will be increasing to about 480 rwhp and 500 tq). as many of you know with this kind of power the gears are a little to high for the car. i was looking to get 3.73 which should be perfect. but the cost is high. i am also getting some new wheels and tires( have not ordered them yet) so here is the delema. i could offset the rear 4.10 if i go to a 19' rim and 295/35/19 which will make the gearing more like 3.90 or i could bite the bullit and buy 3.73 gears and go with 295/35/18. or i could get 295/45/18 and this will be the same as 3.73 but might look funny on the car if it will even fit.
what should i do??
thanks
