Does anyone know if bigger wheels make a difference to your speedo reading and if so how do you get it corrected.Dave. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Geeze guys thought some of you blokes would have had an answer by now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>No answer yet ... but some questions for you. Do the wheels have tyres fitted? If so what size are the tyres? Also what wheels/tyres did you have before the change? What revs was your engine doing at 100km/h in top gear with the original wheels and tyres? What revs is it doing now? See where we're heading yet?

With the 19's (275/35/19) its 100-101/100. Hope this helps.Geea. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>That's exactly what I found by checking with GPS. I was going to get it reset by Ford to 18inch rims which would make it closer, but it's not needed. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
