All complete new guy when it comes to moding. I recently took delivery of my new GX and have been kitting it out with things here and there. I have a very old daily driver and this vehicle is the family adventure vehicle which I’ve been saving up a very long time for.
I recently placed a deposit on some new rims/tires. Looking to go from the stock 265/55/R19 which from research is a +25 offset 7.5 inch width rim to a 265/70/R17 on a zero offset 8.5 inch width rim. (Method 703s)
First question, I am aware the Speedo is going to be a little off, I guess I’m fine with that. But I was reading it could cause transmission issues down the road (due to shift timing/speed). Like I said this is a brand new vehicle so first not
looking to void any warranty and second don’t want to screw anything up since I would like to keep this for as long as possible. Especially since I’m going to be paying on it for a while
Any advice, wisdom you all can provide I would appreciate it. Are these accurate concerns?
Thanks.
