Yep I had 4.10 in my Mach and they were perfect but would be way too much gear in a 5.0 unless all you care about is 1/8th mile race

My car has a 3.15 rear end. Came with the gay 18s with 235/45/18s. I am lowered an inch with 285/35/19s, anyone know how that would effect my gear ratio?

Really good tire size calculator at this website. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Gives you a visual of how the tires are sized differently, and a percentage of how far off your tires are. Yours are only 2%, so not that big of a drifference. You'll actually be going 2% faster than what your speedometer says, but thats such a small difference it will never matter.

Alex, it's probably now around a 3.13-3.14 effective ratio.

Ah thanks guys. I didn't think the change was too drastic. I noticed my speedo hasn't changed at all.

Are your new wheels slightly shorter or taller than the old wheels?

If shorter, it's a slightly shorter effective ratio. If taller, it's a slightly taller effective ratio.

Haha, thanks for second guessing, I had to check again. They were 235/50/18s stock.

That's what I was thinking. These cars come with at least 27" wheel/tire combos.

Your rear wheel is now about 1/4" shorter than stock, so your effective ratio when a little shorter to probably a 3.16. Lol
