Question: Right now I have stock 16" ponies on my LX with 225/55/16 If I went with stock 15" turbines or 10 holes with 225/60/15 or even 245/50/15 would that make the car slightly faster in the 1/4. Would the smaller light wheel with less rotating weight make any difference ? Would the smaller wheel but bigger footprint have better traction ? BTW if anyone has a set of GT turbines they want to unload, give me a shout !! Thanks

The difference between the weight of stock 15" tires and 16" tires is probably too little to make a real difference in your times in the 1/4 mile.
