Where is the fuel pump located in a 91 toyota 4runner?

actually hurts it alot if its 20+ range. taller wheels often means lifting the car, so the suspension is screwed up. there can be less contact patch, extra weight and brakes need replacing. the speedometer will need adjusting plus tires for 20s are hard to find and very costly. your sacrificing $$$, turning ability, stopping, acceleration, and vehicle balance overall for "style".

As long as the tire size is the same as the factory wheel, you'll have no problems. Anything too much bigger will damage the transmission and make the speedometer work improperly. There are also laws on the books that might earn you a ticket. But as long as the tire and rim combination's no larger than the factory tire/wheel, you'll be golden. Make sure that the offset is the same as well. This is how far the tire ends up outside the fender well. Damage to the suspension, drive line and a ticket might result.

your car is engineered for the weight of the wheels and tires it comes with and any change you make will wear on bearings, breaks and other significant components resulting in untimely and excessive wear or worse complete part failure.

Bigger wheels means you need to use smaller profile tires to maintain correct wheel height and diameter.

TRUE or FALSE, please explain...?


Performance wise, bigger wheels means less of the heavy rubber and more lightweight aluminum alloy. You have a stiffer wheel which gives you better steering response and cornering abilities.

What other parts are replaced along with the timing belt?


On the downside, you got less sidewall on the tires. This means the tire can absorb less shock and transfers most of this shock to the mechanical suspension. This results in faster wear and tear of your suspension parts.

My Honda civic steering wheel is not straight?


I own a repair shop and have been doing this for twenty years.
I had to upgrade from 13" wheels up to 14" wheels on one of my own cars, just to fit the 4 wheel disk brakes I wanted. Or should I say needed, The flimsy disk drum combo it came with on the base model did nothing but rattle the steering wheel at anything above 80mph, and steep hills OMG!

Car question?


I have since upgraded to 16" wheels with 45 series tires for the handling improvement, and l drove the car from Buffalo, up to Algonquin Provincial Park where I had to drive 25 miles each way down a dirt washboard to the campsight. As if that wasn't enough of a test, I went sraight home after that, slept one night, retorqued my new wheels, picked up the family, and drove to Mammoth Caves National Park in KY sometimes hitting 125 mph.

Our "97" E420 is not starting, cranks but does not catch on. Also when I open the doors the fog,side and low


And my 90 dodge Colt hatchback with 289,000 miles, is no worse for wear. I Haven't changed a wheel bearing, tie rod or ball joint, since long before I messed with the rim size.

1988 Silverado question please?


Greater rotational mass can mean poorer acceleration, and can damage your entire drivetrain if you try to apply a lot of power, particularly if you are using really large wheels. Also consider that not only are the wheels heavier, the mass is also farther from the center, meaning it's even more difficult to turn.

Does the alignment on your car matter?

Greater mass (and your wheels will likely weigh a good bit more, because as the rim diameter gets larger, there has to be more rim...also there will be more mass on the spokes) will also affect the suspension. All weight in the wheels and brakes (unless you have a car with inboard brakes...very rare) is what is referred to as "unsprung weight" That's anything that isn't cushioned by the suspension. Those are the parts that bounce off the road, and the suspension has to dampen that bouncing. The more weight there is, the more difficult that is. This means your suspension will wear out sooner, and the ride quality will suffer.

1. Look cool for morons
2. Allow more clearance for larger brakes. (That's why performance cars have large-ish wheels, and that's why people started thinking they were cool)
