Question:

would havin 26s on my car slow me down alot?

i wanna put 26‘s on my lincoln town car(lifted) but i still want it to go fast so i want to get a Ford Racing Super Cobra Jet Engine its a 460ci(550HP) and a PA Racing Performance Transmission would the 26‘s slow my car down ALOT? and yea i have the money for all this and if ur juss gonna b hatin dont even leave an answer

Answer:

yeah 26's are going to slow your car down. more specifically it is going to kill your acceleration and compromise your overall performance. those 26's are going to weigh a **** ton and weight is the enemy of performance. Not only all of that but anything over 20 inches you need to put an entire new brake system in your car that has larger discs, larger calipers and better pads. because with those 26's wighing as much as they do it will also kill your braking distance and be potentially dangerous. Here is how this is all going to work though. while you may infact have the money for all this your not going to do it right. this car is going to be unsafe and most likley look like ****. i just spent an hour researching this and cant find anyone online who has done a 460ci ford racing swap into a lincoln towncar. not to mention that engine is $7,403.99 from the jegs catalog. good luck with your project. but look into what your actually doing before you start posting **** online.

The 26's would slow your car down quite a bit. But with 550 HP, your car would scream with any size wheel.
The bigger the rims the slower the car gets because it take the engine more rotation to get the car going. But I dont think you will be able to notice it because you have a 550 hp engine. 26 is too big. Max i would go is 24's or your car is a scraper.
