Best Wheels

if you have a front wheel drive, or a rear wheel drive, and you jack your car up. You take one of the wheels and spin it, the other one will spin in the same direction, perspectively. like if you spin one wheel to the right, the other one will also spin to the right. However, if you spin one forward, the other one will spin backward. If that happes, how do the engine, and the transmission make the car go forward?

Also, why would you decrease friction between the wheels and the floor? I'm building this car out of recycled materials, and I would appreciate it if you could explain this. Thanks!

I have 22x9.5 on my car right right with 245/30/22. It barely clears without rubbing by about a half an inch. I was wondering if I get 22x8.5 wheels can I get a tire with more meat without it rubbing? Thanks

One of the little wheels on the car doesn't touch the track.
Should I take a toothpick & clean out the slot, assuming there is paint affecting the pushing in of the wheel nail?
Or maybe just add weights until the wheel touches the ground?
Should I use Super Glue to keep the wheel in permanently?
This is the boy's first pinewood derby & car so any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm sure you've seen it. You'll be driving down the freeway and notice the the wheels on the car next to you seem to be spinning in the opposite direction. I know it's an illusion, but why does it happen?

If my front brakes aren't working well should i check my rear brake shoes ?

in my car both front wheels have brake pads and both rear wheel have brake shoes, i have checked my front wheels brake pads and changed them with new ones but my front brakes aren't working well.

What to do ?

I have a 2010 Mazda3 and was wondering if both wheels are propelling the car. I have heard that some front wheel drive cars only have 1 wheel moving it.

I have 4 0.25" wheel spacer plates (not the one that extends the studs) on my car right now (1 on each wheel) and my wheels look wider and the edge of the tire is is lined up to the fender. Did this give me an improvement in traction. Thanks for your answers.

Me and my partner are currently building a mousetrap car and we don't know how to attach the wheels. We tried once before and the car stared to weave left after only a foot! Please help us we only have a few hours left. Its not due for a few days but my partner is only available today to assist me. Please be as specific and clear as possible, thanks! <3

i have a '03 land rover discovery, and my mechanic told me that there was an issue with the weights on my wheels (the little inch long things attached to the rim) when i got my car back, 2 wheels had weights twice the size of the originals, one wheels had absolutely none, and one wheel was regular. can anyone explain this to me please?
thanks
