Just a FYI for people with bigger tires....
Befor with my old wheels and tires at 60MPH on speedo i was gong 60MPH on GPS
(205x75 R15)
Now with my new wheels and tires at 60MPH on speedo im going 63MPH on GPS.

I noticed after we did a car one time, we put 17s on a 14 inch car and it had a significant difference.

If you carefully choose your sizes, you won't have that problem.

There are calculators that will suggest the right rolling diameter out there. We also had this posted in Techinfo for a long time, but the old calculator page died.
