Alloys Wheels

Post by IZVVC »

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy 16/17" alloy wheels to replace my standard match 15" alloy wheels, however I was wondering what I would need to do to correct my speedo, as my car would be moving faster than the speedo would say? or am I wrong?

As above.

The speedometer will read the same, as the diameter will be the same, you will just have more alloy and less tyre.
