Question about switching to Rebel Wheels and tires?

[bcwood64]

Hey guys so I’m going to be picking up a set of OEM Rebel Wheels & Tires for my BTS Bighorn in the near future.

I was wondering since the tires are larger would my 3.92 rear gear ratio change as well or would it just stay the same since the Rebel probably comes with the same rear axle as my current one?

Rebel has 3.92 gears also but tires and rims wouldn’t make ratio change, you would have to change the gearing with a new diff.

The Rebel does come with the 3.92 also. The overall size isn't too terribly different (about 1" in height). Your speedo will read about 2 MPH lower than actual speed (60 MPH indicated, 62.4 actual). There are ways to correct the speedo error (Tazer, tuner, AlfaOBD?, etc) if it bothers you.
