17’s-How do they effect you speedo



  Ziel Nurburgring


Only if you get the wrong size tyres. im sure someone will give u the technical explanation in a second
 


195/45/16 seem to be the closest match to to the valver original wheels !! plus 205/40/17 s are more likely to rub as they are wider !!
 


Yes because it gives the effect of longer gearing. However wider tyres cause more drag so it may balance out.

It seems tuther way round on mine! Seems to accelerate the same but they have killed my top end! With 15s i can get 130+ easily but with 17s i get to 120 - any more and the wind would have to be behind me!

top end should theoreticly be faster, but due to the size and weight difference, it will be a lot harder to get there, so no hehe
 


Just think it losses it power pushin 17s at those speeds! Like i say, when the 15s go on t just keeps accelerating!
