many moons ago i changed the front drum braked struts on a mk2 1.1 escort to disk braked ones... found the 11 inch wheels fouled the calipers so had to fit 13 inch wheels..would hardly go up hills at all in 4th was way overgeared... had to fit a 1.6 pinto from a capri then it would pull 90 in third.
how much bigger are the tyres , does dropping to forth enable it to go faster ?.
dont forget if youve changed the rolling radius of the tyres significantly your speedo will underread as well... easy way to check is to follow a mate at a set steady 40 (or whatever) and see what reading your gives.
