Title: Wheels
Post by: justford on November 26, 2007, 01:07:46 AM

Hi guys and gals.New to the site but not to Pintos, as I have had several but none for several years. My question is for those of you that have went with 14" or 15" wheels and tires. How much did it hurt the gas mileage and power? Next question is what Ford vehicles use the same bolt pattern as the Pinto? All help greatly appreciated.
Thanks :-\

I went with 15 inch wheels and tires.As long as the tires are not to tall they should not affect your mileage.I get 25 mpg on long trips and about 20 in town.
