Speedo difference with 18"s?

Recommended Posts

I'm switching from my stock 17" rims this weekend to 18"Prodrive Pff7's with 225/40/18's Dunlop Direzza's. Does anyone know how this will effect my speedo reading to read either faster/slower than it is now? Compared to my 17's the new set up is just a bit taller when you put the compare the two wheels/tires together. Thanks for any info!

Easy. Figure out the percentage difference in circumference and that's how much your speedo will be off.

 

You can use this one if the lazies set in: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Your speedometer will be reading 1.9% slower with the new tires.
