What is the proper way to torque wheels on a car? |
Is it right to use a torque wrench when the wheels are on the ground. Or should a wheel holder be used in the air to prevent improper torque? What about torqe sticks?

Is there a difference in the torque required to turn car’s wheels when the car is stationary or moving? |
I need to know how the torque required to turn the wheels changes if the car is stationary or moving. If you can provide a method for calculating the torque, I will be thankful.
Best regards

Does adding bigger wheels/tires to my car slow it down? |
I have a cadillac cts that comes stock with 16inch alloy. I would like to upgrade to some 18inch black wheels but a friend of mines told me that i will lose a certain amount of horsepower/torque for every inch i go above the factory specs. A friend of mines had a 2000 pontiac grand prix that came with 16inch alloys and when he upgraded to 18inch wheels his car did seem a bit slower. What do you think? Do you think adding bigger wheels and tires to a car slow it down? If so, by how much?

Anybody know about racing with a car’s front wheels off the ground? |
I was watching The Fast and the Furious 3 the other day and saw Vin Diesel at the end. He reminded me of the scene in the first movie where, in the last "race", he drives that monster of a muscle car. When he comes off the light, the front of his car pops up from the torque being generate by the rear wheels. That reminded me I had seen some races on a TV show with the cars doing the same thing. Is there some sort of sub-culture in racing where people intend to do this? Why don't all the supercars and new muscle cars do this? Does it have to do with the types of wheels being used on the cars or maybe their gear ratio or the way the driver times his clutch use (as opposed to other racers clutch timing)? Most importantly, is there some special term used in reference to this? Thanks.

Thanks, but I mean the torque needed to turn the wheels left and right
If any one can provide equations or theory for that i will be thankful
