small diameter wheels with taller gearing?
Those lowrider jobs where they trade out the standard size wheels for tiny little ones, are those still popular? I'm wondering if you do that (if it's possible to do it without having to get ridiculously fat tires) and at the same time change the differential so the gearing is tall enough to make the engine turn at exactly the same RPMs per MPH as it did before, would that save any gas? I'm thinking it might because this effectively lowers the car, and not for any other reason. So if you also raise the car so that it is the same height as before, then what? Still save a little gas, or not?
