ANY LOSS oh power

ANY LOSS of power

I'm installing the deep dish bullit wheels as follows:
8.5/245 Front and 10.5/315 Back.
I'm gonna install a Supercharger in the future. So i wanna start on the safe side. The question is, after i instal the wheels and tires , will i loose any HP, and around how much?

Dude, you will not loose nor gain any horses by changing rims & wheels. Besides, if you are going with a SC in the future you will want the wider rubber on the pavement. Go for it.

No offense, but this is kind of a stupid question, you arent modifying anything to the engine/drivetrain/tranny... But if i think i am interpreting you correctly, are you asking if your car is gonna feel "slower" with the heavier wheels and tires? Yes, a little, but the supercharger will negate this.

depends on the weight and width of thewheels, but you will not acctually lose power, even though your car may feel slower from a stop. Your track times should balance out from the added traction of the 10.5s, and trust me , there will be lots more traction, especially with some good rubber.

The added weight of the wider wheels plus the added mass of the larger tires does increase the rotating mass, which robs HP.

That means it will suck up a little bit more power to turn those massive wheels vs stock wheels

Ditto on that.

Yes you will lose power if the new ones weigh more than the old ones. Its basic physics, you increase rotational mass, and you will increase drivetrain loss which will decrease horsepower to the wheels.

It doesn't decrease FWHP it increases the amount of drivetrain % loss therefore you will loose a slight amount of RWHP due to the increased tire mass, however, with a s/c it won't matter and the wider tires will help you.

of course getting a blower will help. a blower will make anything feel fast, bigger whells wont slow you down that much. all you need is some gears to take care of the problem.
