Does anyone know if bigger wheels make a difference to your speedo reading and if so how do you get it corrected.Dave.

Posted 06/06/05 10:51 AM Share Posted 06/06/05 10:51 AM I've found that with the factory 17's the speedo reads under, 97/100. With the 19's (275/35/19) its 100-101/100. Hope this helps.Geea.
