I'm sure that it has been discussed, and I just did not read the discussion, BUT, can someone
please point my browser in the direction of past discussions as to what 15" rims do to the final
RPMs of a van in 4th gear?   I'm sure that:

1) it depends on what tyre one puts on the 15" rims,
2) can one get bigger tyres so that the RMMs are lower at highway speeds?
3) one looses a bit of power with 15" rims.
4) 15" rims in combination with re-gearing the tranny.
5) FWIW I have a 91 syncro westy with stock tranny and stock 14" rims with Agilis tyres (about
3200 rpm at 100 kph (62.5 mph).
6) What other implications, ramafications are there to changing to 15" rims?

Thanks for your patients, I just skipped previous discussions.

Malcolm (thinking of going with bigger rims/tyres to get fewer RPMs to get better gas milage to
have money left over to spend on my travels :-) )
