LXI rims

[larnaton]

89 LXI rims will go on my 89 LX no prob right? because I need to replace my speed sensor, cause mine kinda... um broke while I was dropping my engine in :burn: and the only sensor I can get is off an LXI... so I figure I may as well get the rims to so my speedo matches up nicely... just wanted to check before I did anything...

Not a problem as long as the LXI rims still have a stock tire size on them, 195/60-14. If not tell me what size they are.

[offthahook]

They should. They are an inch bigger than the LX rims (14 v. 13), but the bolt pattern and all that is the same, so new tires as well. I think what you're saying is you want the MPH and odometer to be accurate because you're upsizing. That is cool because I know all these folks putting different size rims on do not adjust (if you can) that part. Hence, an inaccurate MPH and odo. Maybe a physics stud could explain rotational stuff and translation into MPH. I'm dumb at teh pahysics.

185/70-13 and 195/60-14 have the same rolling diameter hence no speedo error.

If the tire size on the 89LXI alloys isn't 195/60-14, that is when you will see some speedo error, depending on tire size.

Speedo error would be corrected at the tranny not at the custer.

[larnaton]

The sensor that broke comes directly off of the tranny.... hence I have no speedometer... which in a way is good, I can drive fast and no one knows it >:)
