I think you might be confused on this one. The larger the rotor the less it rotates per mile, the smaller the more it rotates per mile. Think of tire sizes. A 205/40/17 has a diameter of 23.46" & rotates 859.80 per mile. A 205/50/17 has a diameter 25.07" & rotates 804.44 per mile. as you can see the taller tire has less revolutions.
