Effect of putting larger wheels on Del Sol
I bought my wife a 93 Del Sol automatic with 1.5. It has stock 13" steelies. If I go to 14" alloys what effect will it have on mileage, odometer, pick-up etc.? Would I need to reset ECU if I go to larger wheels? Thx. T

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

If you get appropriately sized tires, there will be zero difference.

I used the tire size comparison tool on miatanet http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html
