Thats some thing to remember when it comes time to change the tranny oil in my ride.

The website above has a calculator that takes into account wheel diameter, width and offset along with tire size and aspect ratio. Going from a 205/45 x 17" tire and a 17"x7" 55mm wheel to a 245/45 x16" tire and a 16"x8" 50mm wheel makes a 1.01 mph different at 60 mph. So no adjustment needed. The website also shows before and after fit over the hub and strut in 2 different colors so you can see the change. It also gives very specific dimensions for any changes. It's a pretty cool website.
I just picked up the car and Mike's Custom Performance did the tranny lube change, welded on a new muffler hanger bracket and installed 2 new urethane isolators for free. That was to pay me back for having lost my hotel money at Sebring when I didn't run because they screwed up my battery hold down. I thought that was very fair of them and they didn't give me any grief at all.
The Ford synthetic gear lube has already made a slight difference in how easily the car shifts. I was a bit surprised by that. In the reading I did, it seemed most people realized an improvement over time and not so much right from the start. So if mine gets any better over time I'll call it a $40 well spent!

If it weren't for time, everything would happen all at once!

It doesn't hurt to do that sooner than later.
