NO

what is does "limited slip" mean and how does it work?


the only time you will run into problems is if change the tire diameter in which case it makes the speedometer read wrong if this is the case depending what kind of car you have you will have to either get a different gear for the speedo cable or if your speedo is determined by the ECU than you will have to reflash the new tire diameter into the ECU.

It depends on your car, and how you do the install. If you do it correctly you can plus size your rims without affecting your spedo accuracy. Say you have a 225/45 17 and you want to put an 18 inch on there. Simply put the 18's on with 225/40 tires. It also depends if your car reads the speed thru the computer or if there is a direct speedometer cable.

mechanics what is your favorite oil ,battery , brake pads ,place to get parts?

depend on the vehicle.. you can increase the rims on vehicle up to 18, anything beyond that, you will have to add a hyperchip that allows you to reset the shift, and get better response.. bigger the rims.. slows the actual reading of how fast you are going..

Not answering your question but just some info for you... When you put on these BIGGER rims your increasing the size and weight of your wheels so your going to be slower and you might want to upgrade your braking system as well
