VDC and wheel size
OK, could someone please explain this to me.
Alot of you guys are getting 19" wheels. How does this effect you VDC/Traction control? Or is it affecting it at all.
I'll be getting new wheels to go with my S-tune, and getting larger wheels may help with the drop of s-tune (besides looking better). But I'm concerned about the greater diameter affecting VDC/Traction control and EBC.
Any comments greatly appreciated.
Thanx.

19s and 20s will NOT affect it if you keep the over all height of the wheel close to stock
When you go with a larger diameter wheel you will be using a tire that has a shorter sidewall to compensate.
example 195-55-15 = 205-45-16 roughly. Sidewall (Aspect ratio) went from 55 to 45 to compensate for the 15 to 16 jump. This is to keep the over all height the same as stock.
I don't think I am explaining it properly but I hope you get the point.
