The Ground speed is the speed over the ground - the bottom of the tire is at 0 mph unless it is slipping and the top is twice the Ground speed moving forward - the center of the tire is at ground speed.

Re: Quote:i think the full ones
 

mine are $5 aftermarket jobbies. pancake flat, no fancy molded stuff.

i don't think the insight has any flare to their skirts. they're pretty flat straight across. remember, the insight's rear track is narrower than the front, so that helps with the skirt clearance issue.

Re: cover
 

right

bottom of tire 0
center/hub 1
top of tire 2 , or twice the center/hub speed (gound speed, not twice the bottom of tire speed)

Why not buy a aftermarket
 

Why not buy a aftermarket wheel with more backspacing?

Re: Why not buy a aftermarket
 

I think most of the aftermarket wheels are wider than stock, not skinnier.

Does anyone know what the bolt pattern is on teh honda insights? I they their wheels are really narrow.

Why would they be any different then other 4 lug Honda wheels, 4x100mm.

There happen to be 4x114.3 things out there in the honda/acura lineup, :p

Re: Quote:Why would they be any
 

The easiest thing to do is go to tirerack and choose wheels for an Insight. It will tell you the bolt pattern. im toooo lazy to look. Speaking of Insights, I will be driving one from Wed thru Sat. Hypermiling heaven!

I'm pretty sure it's 4x100,
 

I'm pretty sure it's 4x100, I'm just giving you a hard time about the 96-97 itr.

Re: Why not buy a aftermarket
 

Honda actually has a few 5-lug wheels out there now adays. Maybe that's acura... can't remember.
