OK I need some help from you math wizards. I have 255/50-17 tires and wheels. The dia. is 27.03 and if I am running 3:73 gears what is my final gear ratio?

Thanks~

Assuming you had the stock pirelli 235/55/17's, which are listed at 27.1" tall, your final ratio using a 27.03 tire with 3.73's would be little difference: 3.75

I guess eventually I should make this a sticky so I can quit retyping it.

stock tire height divided by new tire height times gear ratio = actual gear ratio.

So as psfracer stated, assuming your stock tires were 235/55/17s:
27.18 / 27.04 * 3.73 = 3.749

Is there a calc for us Auto guys?

You can do it by hand knowing the transmission gear ratios

See attached photo showing comparison of manual transmissions to automatic transmission.

Why would it be any different for an auto? You still have tires, you still have a differential with gears in it...it's gonna be the same.
